Hubba-Hubble: The Slooh Explore's remote-telescope interface.
If the kids or your budget can't yet handle a real working telescope, the Slooh Explore Space Prepaid Telescope Card lets you bypass both obstacles while still nurturing the whole family's inner astronomer. The card gives you a year's worth of connectivity (via your Web browser) to a high-powered observatory in the Canary Islands, virtually guaranteeing incredible, pristine-quality access to the night sky anytime you log in. And, unlike what you might run into with a real telescope, Slooh Explore answers the kids' tough questions, with audio segments, narration and alerts to upcoming space missions all being part of the interface.
