Do you like astronomy and would enjoy exploring the universe? Virtual Astronomy & Space Academy is fun and Out of this World! Our mission is to generate interest and foster scientific literacy through the delivery of awe-inspiring and educational astronomy sessions. We all love a beautiful sunny day! But did you know a million earths can fit inside the sun? That a billion suns can fit inside the largest star known? Or that a typical galaxy holds hundreds of billions of stars, from the smallest dwarfs to the largest supergiants? With Virtual Astronomy & Space Academy, children of all ages can be inspired to think big, dream big, and to foster curiosity about an enormous universe in which the boundaries appear unlimited. With the understanding of some simple terminology and concepts, they are better informed about space and the celestial objects that reside overhead. The spark of interest often ignites in young minds where the abc's of the universe are brought to light.

Kids won't stop talking about this class!!
My daughter 11, and son 9 both enjoyed it very very much. It is super fun and interesting (even for me listening from the side!) He answered any questions kids had with the easiest way to understand. I'd really love to sign up again if there will be another different class!!
