To celebrate World Space Week we're making Pinwheel Galaxy pinwheels. Hold a galaxy in your hands! For ages 5-12.
The Pinwheel Galaxy is a spiral-shaped galaxy about 21 million light-years away from Earth. Scientists call this swirling galaxy M101. You can find it in the constellation Ursa Major, or the Big Dipper, in the Northern Hemisphere. With a dark night sky, you can see it with binoculars or a small telescope. For those of us who can't see it in the night sky, we can have the next best thing: a Pinwheel Galaxy pinwheel!
