Our universe is so vast that we can’t even guess its size. It is full of mesmerising stars, planets and galaxies, always expanding and there is seemingly no end to it. These wonderful celestial objects are full of mysteries waiting to be solved and if you are one of the curious kids always exploring the enigmatic universe, then www.amazingspace.org is the right place to satisfy your curiosity.

The website provides astronomical discoveries to inspire and educate about the wonders of universe to the school going kids from junior to higher grades. Let’s start our space exploration then.

The first thing to mention here is that the website is clutter- and ads-free, so its simple and clean interface makes one to focus and explore the contents easily. The main menu or the categories are on the homepage with a title of ‘Resources by Topic’ and ‘Resources by Type’. For instance, if you choose ‘Resources by topic’, you will find “Solar System, Electromagnetic Spectrum/light and Colour, Gravity, Galaxy, Stars and Stellar Evolution, Comets and Asteroids, etc., all having sub-categories in them. But if you open ‘Resources by Type’, you will find the topics being divided in “Online explorations, Lithographs, Zoomable Gallery, Myths Vs Reality, etc. In short, the topics are divided in types.

Perhaps the interesting and easy way to explore the site is ‘resources by topic’ as it makes it very easy and clear for you to find a topic of your interest. According to the site developers, all the material is accurate, instructionally sound, visually appealing, and carefully crafted developed for educators and learners of all ages.

The site claims to be producing and sharing educational resources based on the Hubble and James Webb space telescopes and the material is based upon work supported by NASA under cooperative agreement.

So my friends and future astronauts, satisfy your curiosity and find answers to many of your space-related queries by exploring the never-ending universe and its mysteries at www.amazingspace.org
