[MACEP] NASA for kids

[Rosa Hemphill]

another great resource on light and IR in particular is the Cool Cosmos 
site at
http://coolcosmos.ipac.caltech.edu/

I personally really enjoy the images in their image collection and the 
video clips at 
http://coolcosmos.ipac.caltech.edu/image_galleries/collection/.

Kids love dinosaurs and stars--and this is a great jump off for learning 
about stars, starlight....
