NASA EXPRESS -- Your STEM Connection for July 3, 2025


NASA STEM Engagement

Join the Summer of Planetary Science

Looking for something fun, educational, and out-of-this world to do this summer? We’ve got you covered! NASA’s Summer of Planetary Science is where you can find hands-on activities and real opportunities to do science from home.

 

Planetary science is the study of planets, moons, asteroids, comets, and everything else that orbits the Sun...including Earth! Through the field of planetary science, we begin to understand how our solar system formed, what it’s made of, and whether life might exist beyond our planet.

 

Whether you’re a student, a parent, an educator, or a lifelong space fan, this is your launch pad to explore and learn about planetary science – all you need is a little curiosity. Click here to get started.
