Explore Space Live - Slooh 350 Minute Mission Card with 2 Workbooks

Every kid can view the stars like a professional astronomer with SLOOH! This unique system lets kids access the stars online and instantly take control of powerful telescopes positioned across the globe - and learn while they do it!

In the included Mission Pack, Otto, the 'Night Watchdog,' will guide kids through a series of missions including Phases of the Moon; Survey of the Universe; and The Birth, Life and Death of a Star. (Mission packs, narrated by Otto, have been prepared by educators and astronomers and are optimized for kids aged 6-16.) Otto will automatically transport kids to the telescopes and guide them through their mission where they can zoom in and snap recon photos. When kids complete their mission pack, they'll receive an achievement badge from Otto!
