    Cool NASA website

    It might be one of those websites that everyone knows about but I've only just discovered it.

    Overview | Our Solar System – NASA Solar System Exploration

    I'm almost inspired to purchase a telescope and get into this - though I have no idea where to start.

            The "and then try it outside!" was being left for when he moves from "noob" to "intermediate". We don't want to overload him!
