NASA StarChild

NASA StarChild is a kid-friendly astronomy site from NASA that introduces elementary-age learners to the solar system, the universe, and space exploration. Content is organized into two age ranges, with simple text, images, and short games that help kids grasp big ideas like planets, stars, and black holes without feeling overwhelmed. Parents appreciate the safe, ad-free environment and the reassurance that explanations come straight from NASA scientists and educators. StarChild isn’t a full curriculum, but as a free, high-quality supplement, it’s a great way to anchor space units in accurate information while keeping the wonder front and center.
