It's a great opportunity for people around the world to come together and appreciate all that space has to offer. From astronomical observations to human achievements, this is a day of learning and appreciation that highlights our progress in discovering the mysteries of the universe. So get out your telescopes and prepare yourself for an exciting journey as you explore what lies beyond our planet!
Take the day off, pop some popcorn, and watch a movie set in space. It could be a classic like Star Wars or Apollo 13, or something more recent like Gravity or The Martian. Enjoy the adventure!
Many cities have planetariums that you can visit. There, you can learn about the stars, planets, and other celestial bodies in our universe. You'll be amazed at what you find out.
Set up a telescope in your backyard and invite friends over to take turns looking at the stars. Don't forget the snacks and hot chocolate!
Have each guest dress up as an astronaut or other space traveler. Encourage them to bring props like space helmets and ray guns. Play fun space themed games like Space Invaders or Asteroids.
This treat was actually developed for astronauts in space. All you need is some pudding mix, whipped topping, and freeze dried ice cream. Mix together and let cool in the freezer for a few hours before serving.
