NASA Image of the Day

Stars Adorn Orion's Sword
This image from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope shows what lies near the sword of the constellation Orion -- an active stellar nursery containing thousands of young stars and developing protostars. Many will turn out like our sun. Some are even more massive. These massive stars light up the Orion nebula, which is seen here as the bright region near the center of the image.

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. It contains 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.. Be sure to note your school affiliation.
