NASA Image of the Day

Huygens on Titan
In 2005 the robotic Huygens probe landed on Titan, Saturn's enigmatic moon, and sent back the first ever images from beneath Titan's thick cloud layers. This artist's impression is based on those images. In the foreground, sits the car-sized lander that sent back images for more than 90 minutes before running out of battery power. The parachute that slowed Huygen's re-entry is seen in the background, still attached to the lander. Smooth stones, possibly containing water-ice, are strewn about the landscape. Analyses of Huygen's images and data show that Titan's surface today has intriguing similarities to the surface of the early Earth. Image Credit: ESA

Phlare & Schools

Above anything, Phlare is dedicated to the education of children. Our line of products is built using imagery to inspire and educate, with the hopes that space will become a passion. Even if they do not become inspired by space, perhaps they will become interested in other sciences.

All of the science cards use question-and-answer techniques which can be used in individual or group activities. The Mars Map & Information Sheet contains a section on physical features which lists the coordinates of said features. The Lunar Science Cards contains coordinates of physical features which can be found on the Lunar Map. Both maps contain the landing sites of missions, which can be used in practicing grid coordinates.

In general, the products are appropriate for children no younger than 5th grade. The Hubble Science Cards & Cosmology Information Sheet is the most complex product, as the topic it is covering is the most difficult.

We provide substantial discounts to schools and school districts when they purchase more than one of a product. We have a school catalog, which can be requested through the link below. Be sure to note your school affiliation.
