Product Description
There's nothing that piques a kid's wide-eyed interest more than outer space. Unless that kid happens to be male and 15, in which case it would be the school cheerleading squad. But for younger kids, learning about and observing the stars, planets, and constellations first-hand really captivates their imaginations. To make that happen, we've got the Star Pilot space kit. It combines a little gadgetry, interactive web technology, some colorful astronomy lessons, and lots of outdoor fun all in one great package. The gadget is the Star Pilot itself, an internally red-illuminated (to preserve night vision) scope that makes it easy to identify asterisms such as the Big Dipper and 23 constellations in the night sky. Just look into the Star Pilot's eyepiece with one eye and rotate the little star ball until it matches the view of the actual sky that you're seeing with your other eye. The labels on the star ball tell you what bright stars or constellations you are gazing at. An attractively illustrated color manual includes fun astronomical information, experiments to try, diagrams, and constellation legends. You'll learn about the life cycle of a star, make a night-vision flashlight, perform a binocular fusion experiment, and more.
