  • Be observant and see if you can spot history: The moon can be seen from all corners of Earth, and millions watched as Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin becamethe first people to walk on its surface over fifty years ago. Canon’s Creative ParkApollo Lunar Module ( https://bit.ly/3u2Xfjv ) is an iconic celebration of this historic achievement. But did you know that the site where Apollo 11 landed was called the Sea of Tranquillity?To spot the Sea of Tranquillity, familiarise yourself by findinga map of the moon,such as onNASA’s ( https://go.nasa.gov/3f05gBp ) websiteandsee if you can find it.It looks like a large grey patch on the lunar surface,but it isn’tactuallyasea, it’s lava.
  • The sky is full ofmovingsurprises: Ifyou look carefully,you might noticecertain starswhichappearto be movingfaster than others. These are notstars,but satellites.A great example is the International Space Station, a giant science laboratory whereastronautsand scientists live,whilstperforming experiments in space. In future years, there could be space holidays to placessimilar toCanon’sCreative ParkSpace Hotel ( https://bit.ly/3hD4Dj1 ), but fornowat least, we can transport our imagination to what that would be like.
  • Imagine new frontiers: Our ancestors referred to planets as ‘planetes’, Latin for ‘wanderers’, on account of their strange movement among the stars.Did you know it is possible to see five planets simultaneously in the sky, including Mars, with the naked eye?Creative Park’sMars Diorama( https://bit.ly/3osulIv ) will help you imagine what it would be like to stand on the surface of the red planet.
  • Map your journey: Mars is undoubtedly the next space destination humans will visit. The various rovers that have been mapping the surface, like Perseverance Rover which has just arrived, are essential in making this happen as we take our next step out among the stars. Send out a rover yourself using CreativePark’sMars Curiosity Rover ( https://bit.ly/3yl5kU1 ).
