Astronomy and Space Exploration Concepts

Sally Ride, the first American woman astronaut, introduces her mission to inspire kids in science, math, and technology through her company, Sally Ride Science. She collaborates with Gregg from Google to explore the new Sky feature in Google Earth. They navigate through the solar system, observing Saturn, and explore constellations and nebulae like Taurus, the Crab nebula, and the Orion nebula. The video concludes with an invitation to try the Google Earth Sky feature.
