      Introduction

      The science that deals with faraway things in the sky is called astronomy. You can become an astronomer in one easy step.

      Want to try it? Just go outside and look up.

      Now you’re an astronomer. Good job!

      Astronomy has to do with outer space. And one great thing about outer space is that there is always more of it to see. That’s because outer space is huge! It’s so huge, our minds have a hard time picturing the whole thing. But doing the activities in this book should help you imagine outer space better.

      When using this book, remember:

      Read through an activity before beginning.

      Gather the supplies you’ll need.

      If the activity doesn’t work perfectly the first time, try again.

      Have fun.
