Astronomy Club: Rings and Bling

Ages:  5-10

Registration will open on October 09 2023 8:00 am

Planetary rings and moons aren’t just fancy celestial accessories but active, dynamic structures that undergo daily temperature shifts, seasons, and even give birth to moons! This week we’ll be learning about the planets in our solar system that have their own rings and satellites.
