    http://deepimpact.jpl.nasa.gov/
    A new launch window is announced for the Deep Impact project, the first mission to look deep inside a comet. Technical and management issues, including contamination in the propulsion system and late deliveries of key spacecraft components, resulted in delays in the pre-flight testing schedule. These concerns led Deep Impact Principal Investigator, Mike A'Hearn, to recommend to NASA a delay of launch. A launch window beginning December 30, 2004, previously identified as a back-up date, provides more thorough testing for the spacecraft systems before launch and allows us to arrive at Tempel 1 to impact it as originally scheduled on July, 4, 2005. NASA management approved the recommendation.

    Old Trajectory
    (Click to enlarge) New Trajectory
    (Click to enlarge) Deep Impact will be the first mission to make a spectacular, football-stadium-sized crater, seven to 15 stories deep, into the speeding comet. Dramatic images from both the flyby spacecraft and the impactor will be sent back to distant Earth as data in near-realtime. These first-ever views deep beneath a comet's surface, and additional scientific measurements will provide clues to the formation of the solar system. Amateur astronomers will combine efforts with astronomers at larger telescopes to offer the public an earth-based look at this incredible July 2005 encounter with a comet.

    93. Astronomy For Kids - Pluto
    Includes details about its location and facts related to visibility, size, surface and its moons.
    http://www.dustbunny.com/afk/planets/pluto/pluto.htm
    Where is It?

    Click
    Pluto is the ninth, or last, planet in the solar system. The orbit, or path the planet takes around our Sun is an ellipse, or stretched out circle. For this reason there are times when Pluto is the furthest away from the Sun. There are also times when it is closer to the Sun than Neptune. Right now, Pluto is the furthest planet.
    Click
    Pluto is a very long way from the Sun. Its average distance from the Sun is over 3.5 billion (3,500,000,000) miles. The closest Pluto gets to the Sun is over 2.7 billion (2,700,000,000) miles, and the furthest away it gets is over 4.5 billion (4,500,000,000) miles. From Pluto, the Sun is not much brighter than any other star. Not only is Pluto a very long way from the Sun, but its orbit is tilted. If you could look at our solar system from an "edge", most of the planets would be on a line like a table top, with the Sun being in the middle. This line, also called a plane, is the ecliptic, and the rest of the planets' orbits stay on this line. Pluto's orbit, though is tilted at an angle to the rest of the solar system.
    Since Pluto is so far away from the Sun, one of its years, which is the time it takes for the planet to go around the Sun once, is a very long time. A year on Pluto lasts for 248 Earth years! A day on Pluto, which is the length of time it takes for the planet to spin around once, is also longer than a day here on Earth. It takes Pluto over six Earth days to spin around once. Pluto is also one of the planets that spins around in the opposite direction from Earth. This means that the dim Sun would rise in the West and set in the East.

    94. Astronomy For Kids
    Provides a picture and brief facts about the planet.
    http://www.frontiernet.net/~kidpower/pluto.html
    PLUTO
    Is the smallest planet. Its mass (weight) is 1/500th that of the Earth. Its diameter is about 1/6 that of our planet.
    Is the ninth planet in order from the Sun. It is about 5.9 billion kilometers from the Sun.
    Makes one complete orbit around the Sun every 248 years.
    Rotates on its axis slowly when compared to Earth. It completes one rotation in about 6 days and 9 minutes.
    Is sometimes known as a double-planet because it has a moon (Charon) that orbits it.
    Has a total of 1 satellite (or moons).

    95. ASTRO KIDS: Pluto
    Offers details about its temperature, its size and its gravity.
    http://www.astronomy.com/content/static/AstroForKids/pluto.asp
    Each hemisphere of Pluto is seen in these two different views.
    A. Stern/M. Buie/NASA/ESA PLUTO Pluto is the ninth planet from the sun. It orbits at a distance of 3,647 million miles (nearly 40 times as far from the sun as Earth is). With a diameter of only 1,485 miles, Pluto is the smallest planet in the solar system. It takes Pluto 248 Earth years to go around the sun one time, and 6 Earth days to spin on its axis one time. Scientists don't know if Pluto has an atmosphere or not. If it does, it may be made of methane and nitrogen. Pluto's surface has dark markings and is probably made of methane and nitrogen ice. Clyde Tombaugh discovered Pluto in 1930 at Lowell Observatory. Because Pluto is smaller than many of the moons that orbit other planets, some scientists think Pluto should be reclassified as an asteroid. But unlike most asteroids, Pluto is round like the planets. To escape Pluto's gravity you need to travel 2,500 miles per hour. Pluto and Charon
    A. Stern/M. Buie/NASA/ESA Pluto has one known moon, Charon, which was discovered in 1978. This moon is about half as big as Pluto. Astronomy.com: Terri Field

    96. Astronomy For Kids - Mars
    Provides details about its location, its visibility, size and number of satellites.
    http://www.dustbunny.com/afk/planets/mars/mars.htm
    No other planet has captured our imaginations, or inspired so many bad science fiction movies, as the Red Planet. Since humans have been looking at the night sky, Mars has been an important part of our culture, writing and history.
    Where Is It?

    Click

    Click
    Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun, located in between Earth and Jupiter. Mars is much further away from the Sun than Earth, with an average distance of around 140 million miles. The orbit, or path, the planet takes around the Sun is an mild ellipse, or stretched circle, with Mars being about 128 million miles from the Sun at its closest and 154 millions away at its furthest.
    Since Mars is so much further away from the Sun than Earth, a Martian year, which is the time it takes to go around the Sun once, is much longer at 687 Earth days. A Martian day, which is the time it takes the planet to spin around once, is a little longer than an Earth day, at 24 hours and 37 minutes.
    Can I See It?

    Click
    Yes you can, and you won't need a telescope. Mars is visible in the early morning sky from fall through early spring, and in the evening sky from spring through early summer. Mars will be a small, rust-colored light in the sky. The best way to find Mars is to use the sky maps here at Astronomy for Kids. If you can see Mars during the month, the maps will tell you where and when to look for it.

    97. Astronomy For Kids
    Includes a picture and brief facts about this planet.

    MARS
    Is sometimes called the Red Planet. Its mass (weight) is 1/10th that of the Earth. Its diameter is 1/2 that of our planet.
    Is the fourth planet in order from the Sun. It is about 228 million kilometers from the Sun.
    Makes one complete orbit around the Sun every 686.98 days.
    Rotates on its axis about the same speed as the Earth. It completes one rotation in about 24 hours and 37 minutes.
    Has seasons similar to our planet, but they last much longer.
    Has a total of 2 satellites (or moons).

    98. ASTRO KIDS: Mars
    Images, details and facts about this planet, its surface and its temperature.
    http://www.astronomy.com/content/static/AstroForKids/mars.asp
    JPL/NASA Mars is the fourth planet from the sun. Its orbit is roughly 142 million miles from the sun. The planet's reddish color is caused by rust (iron oxide) in the soil. Mars is the planet most like Earth. It takes 687 Earth days (about 2 Earth years) for Mars to go around the sun one time, and Mars spins on its axis at about the same speed as Earth does. It takes 24 hours and 37 minutes (about 1 Earth day) for Mars to rotate one time. Part of the middle section of Valles Marineris
    JPL/NASA
    Olympus Mons is the largest volcano peak in the solar system.
    JPL/NASA Mars has the largest canyon (Valles Marineris), and the highest volcano (Olympus Mons) in the solar system. If Valles Marineris were on Earth, it would span the United States, from New York on the East Coast to California on the West Coast. It is about 1,300 miles long, 310 miles wide, and about 5 miles deep. Olympus Mons is nearly 3 times higher than Mount Everest. It rises above the Martian surface more than 82 thousand feet. This giant volcano's base is the size of Missouri. There are also lots of channels on Mars, and they look like Earth's river channels. Most scientists believe water once flowed on the martian surface, but new studies suggest there may still be water in some places on the surface.

    99. Astronomy For Kids - Uranus
    Offers details about the location, the visibility, the size and the rings of this planet.
    http://www.dustbunny.com/afk/planets/uranus/uranus.htm
    Where is It?

    Click
    Uranus is the seventh planet in our solar system, located in between Saturn and Neptune. Uranus is very far away from the Sun. Its average distance from the Sun is about one and three-quarters billion miles, or about twenty times the distance from the Sun to Earth. The path, or orbit, Uranus follows around the Sun is an ellipse, or stretched out circle, which means that Uranus' distance from the Sun varies from about 1.7 billion (1,700,000,000) miles at its closest to about 1.87 billion (1,870,000,00) miles at its furthest away.
    Click
    Since Uranus is so far away from the Sun, it takes it a very long to to go around the Sun once. A year on Uranus, the amount of time it takes for this trip, is 84 Earth years. A day on Uranus, which is the amount of time it takes for the plant to spin around, or rotate, once is shorter than a day here on Earth. The blue-green planet spins around once in a little over seventeen hours.
    One of the many odd facts about Uranus is that it is "lying on its side" as it faces the Sun. Earth faces the sun standing almost straight up, with the north and south poles at the top and bottom as it looks at the Sun. For some reason, Uranus has rolled over, so what we would think of as the south pole is facing the Sun. Scientists don't know why the planet does this, but it may be the result of a collision with some other body in space. Also, the planet rotates, or spins, from East to West which is the exact opposite of the way that Earth spins.
