By popular demand, the full set of 'Planet Cards' used in the Young Astronomers program is now available to buy. The images have been updated, the print quality greatly improved and the set has been expanded to reflect current astronomy. There are fourteen cards, each at a scale of 1:620 million.
- All eight planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune)
- Earth's moon
- The five currently accepted dwarf planets (Ceres, Pluto, Haumea, Makemake, Eris)
Each order will also receive 2 information cards, one listing the planets and their moons along with a pronunciation guide and vital statistics (average distance from the sun, sizes, etc.), and one giving a summary of the reasons why Pluto is no longer considered a planet and what 'teachable moments' can come from this.
Please note: 1 week lead time is required for any Planet Card purchase. |
