Solar System in National Geographic

The latest issue of National Geographic (July 2013) has a couple of great articles on the Solar System.  Both are available to read online and will give you a detailed overview of the workings of our Solar System.  They are a great read for any parent and will give you some valuable knowledge for the next time your child asks about the Solar System.

The first article details the Curiosity rover on Mars:

The second takes a look at the role Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune played in the earlier solar system.  Very interesting!

Happy reading and learning!
