Class 4's current topic in Science is the Solar System. There are some excellent resources to support this topic, which we would like to share with you.

Astronomy Picture of the Day
This list will update with a new link every day so check back regularly! Click the links to view some spectacular photos of astronomical objects and phenomena. Some of these images are of objects in our Solar System and some are more distant. Can you work out which is which?

Some websites:

• Download and use your own copy of the Stellarium software
