Welcome to Astra's Page for Young Astronomers!

Astra didn't want to just give you a list of links to look at. The sites are not rated, but anything on this page is bound to be a HIT, especially with grade-school children. Sometimes sites for grownups can be confusing or stuffed with so much information, we just get a head ache looking at it. So this site is for the future generation of scientists, explorers, inventors and artists! Bookmark this page so you can come back and look at the other sites in this listing. I think you'll have so much fun here, you'll want to come back, again and again!
