Moon Mission Fact

The Moon has no wind or rain like Earth. That means astronaut footprints can stay on the Moon for a very long time unless something disturbs them.

Mars is called the red planet because rusty iron minerals in its soil make it look reddish. Rovers help scientists study rocks, dust, and signs of ancient water.

Saturn Mission Fact

Saturn’s rings are made of countless pieces of ice and rock. Some pieces are tiny like dust, while others are much bigger.
