Explore the Skies As A Family
There is something about gazing upwards to the heavens that draws us in. The idea that planets are “out there” but yet not visible is hard to grasp at times. I don’t have a telescope to use but I do have my phone. I have used an app call Sky Guide for about 5 years now to explore the sky. On certain nights I go outside and can use it to pinpoint the planets or other really cool stars and constellations. We can use these apps to teach our kids about God’s creation and show the vastness of that creation. Below I have listed a few apps for you to explore. Two are free and one has a price to purchase.
