Hey readers,
If you’re looking for a fun space-themed book, check out My Very First Space Book By Emily Bone. This book covers so much information about space — what it is, where it is, and what’s out there!
You’ll learn about planets, stars, asteroids, space travel and more. It’s a great companion to have after looking through the January/February 2018 issue of Chirp!
Happy reading!

Hey readers,
Today is Red Planet Day! This day celebrates the first time a spacecraft got close enough to Mars to take amazing photos of the planet.
Here are some facts about the red planet:
– There are dust storms on Mars. These storms are what carve out the land!
– The rocks and dust on Mars are made of iron.
– Mars has two moons; Phobos and Deimos.
– Mars is about half the size of Earth.
– It takes about 6-8 months for a Spacecraft to travel from Earth to Mars.
Do you want to visit the this planet someday? You just might! Scientists are trying to figure out ways to bring humans to Mars!
Later, Earthlings!

Hi readers,
In honour of the 15th anniversary of the International Space Station, the Canadian Space Agency has made a cool video showing what Canadians have done to contribute to the orbiting science lab. You may remember that retired Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield was the commander of the ISS this past year. Check out the video below!
