• I Wonder; by Annaka Harris:  this is the book that inspired this month's theme. The book encourages us all to pay attention to the world and universe around us, to wonder about what we see, search for answers, and enjoy the mysteries.
• NASA's Mars Missions Overview:  a good place to start learning about why we're exploring Mars and what NASA is working on there.

• NASA's PlanetQuest: learn about the search for exoplanets and maybe even an Earth-like planet.
• NASA's Cassini Misson to Saturn: explore the incredible images and discoveries of this remarkable spacecraft.
• LIGO Detects Gravitational Waves:  a nice 3-minute video to explain about LIGO and the discovery of gravitational waves sent out by two black holes colliding.
