Build a Bubble-Powered Rocket! | NASA Space Place – NASA Science for Kids
Now when you blow up a balloon, the air makes the balloon stretch bigger and bigger. But the little film canister doesn't stretch and all this gas has to go somewhere!
Eventually, something has to give! So the canister pops its top (which is really its bottom, since it's upside down). All the water and gas rush down and out, pushing the canister up and up, along with the rocket attached to it.
We call this wonderful and useful fact the law of action and reaction. The action is the gas rushing out of the rocket. The reaction is the rocket taking off in the other direction. In other words, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. The rocket goes in the opposite direction from the gas, and the faster the gas leaves the rocket, the faster the rocket gets pushed the other way.

 Blast off!

Delta rocket similar to the one that launched the Deep Space 1 spacecraft from Cape Canaveral, Florida, in October 1998.

Real rockets work kind of the same way as the pop rocket. But instead of using tablets that fizz in water, they use rocket fuel.
The rocket that launched Deep Space 1 on October 24, 1998, had four different kinds of engines. Some pushed the rocket off the ground. Then some helped it continue its climb into space. Others gave the Deep Space 1 spacecraft its final push away from Earth. But all of them forced a gas to shoot out of the rocket, thus pushing the rocket the other way.

Glossary | NASA Space Place – NASA Science for Kids
Estas ondas tienen mucha energía. Provienen de grandes acontecimientos, como erupciones solares o estrellas en explosión.
Gas: Un conjunto disperso de átomos que giran unos alrededor de los otros.

GPS (por sus siglas en inglés): Esto significa Sistema de Posicionamiento Global. Es un sistema que utiliza satélites, estaciones terrestres, y receptores para informarte exactamente en qué lugar de la Tierra te encuentras.
Gravedad: Una fuerza que atrae a la materia.
Gas de efecto invernadero: Gases en la atmósfera que retienen el calor que proviene del sol. Algunos gases de efecto invernadero son el dióxido de carbono, el metano, el vapor de agua, y el óxido nitroso.

Infrarrojo: Parte del espectro electromagnético que no podemos ver con nuestros ojos pero que podemos sentir como calor. Está compuesto de ondas liberadas por objetos calientes, como las estrellas. Las llamamos infrarrojas porque estas ondas son apenas un poco más largas que las longitudes de onda de la luz roja que podemos ver.
Cinturón de Kuiper: Un anillo en forma de dona, con objetos helados que sobrepasan la órbita de Neptuno. Plutón es el más conocido de estos mundos helados.
La Niña: Lo opuesto de El Niño. La Niña se produce cuando la temperatura de la superficie del mar es excepcionalmente baja en todo el Pacífico ecuatorial central este.

This poster image is a mosaic of hundreds of separate images of the sky made by the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) ultraviolet space telescope. The image represents a large part of the all-sky survey done by this telescope. The back of the poster describes several of the surprising discoveries scientists have made from the ultraviolet images of GALEX. A rhyming description of light in all its wavelengths is also included, along with several fun puzzles to reinforce the new concepts.
 Full-dimension .pdf of front and back (26 x 33.5 inches, back as a nine-panel page).

GALEX poster of Jupiter's Ghost, a planetary nebula. The back of the poster explains what a planetary nebula is. It describes the life cycle of a star like our Sun, and what will eventually happen at the end of the Sun's life. It introduces the mission of the Galaxy Evolution Explorer to survey all the galaxies 80% of the way back to the Big Bang--and what that means. A hands-on activity reinforces the idea of judging the relative ages of objects just by looking at them. 
 Full-dimension .pdf of front and back (22.5 x 26 inches, back as a six-panel page).

GALEX poster of the Pinwheel Galaxy, M83, in ultraviolet. This image was made with a 3 hour 42 minute exposure time, one of the longest ever made in UV. On the back of the poster is an activity to make your own pinhole camera and experiment with exposure times. 
 Full-dimension .pdf of front and back (22.5 x 26 inches, back as a six-panel page).

GALEX Poster of "Shooting Star" Mira. Wide-format poster (rotated to vertical here) showing the star Mira in ultraviolet, as seen by the Galaxy Evolution Explorer. Although studied for centuries, this 13-light-year-long tail had never before been seen. Four panels on back tell about Mira, the image, and GALEX.
 Full-dimension .pdf of front (34 x 11 inches).

GALEX M31 Poster. Poster front is an ultraviolet view of the Andromeda Galaxy (M31), captured by the GALEX space telescope.

The National Space Council invites you to join us for Find Your Place in Space Week.

From April 6-13, 2024 museums, science centers, companies, schools, and organizations will engage with communities across the nation to highlight all that space is, has to offer, and the benefits of space for Earth. We know that too many people are unaware of the importance of space to their everyday lives, to Earth, or know that their expertise and talents are needed in the industry.  Through this effort, we want people from all communities and backgrounds to experience space and find their place in space!

Visit the Find Your Place in Space Week website, which includes:

A map and list of planned events.  Our goal is for there to be events in every state and Puerto Rico. 
A social media toolkit and graphics that are helpful for amplifying the importance of space online throughout the week (and beyond).
A  page with an activity toolkit and online resources from across the federal departments and agencies.

Please consider hosting an event in your community. If you do, share the information with us to be added to the list of events. You can also use the list to join an event near you. Hope to see you there!
