It&#8217;s so big that it could fit over a million Earths inside of it!<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: large;\">The moon is made of cheese. Well, not really. It&#8217;s actually made of rock and dust. But it does look a little bit like cheese, doesn&#8217;t it?<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: large;\">There are billions of stars in the sky. And each one is different! Some stars are big and bright, while others are small and faint. Some stars are red, while others are blue or green.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: large;\">There are also planets, moons, asteroids, comets, and other objects in space. Some of these objects are very close to Earth, while others are billions of miles away.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"font-size: x-large; text-align: center;\">Space is a lot of fun to learn about, and there are lots of ways to celebrate Space Week.
