The NASA Kepler Telescope recently discovered twenty-six new alien planets in eleven solar systems! And I think one of the alien planets was discovered right here at Mommies In Orbit!These newly found planets vary in size from 1.5 times Earth’s radius to bigger than the planet Jupiter. They…
I was under the impression that when kids were doing their homework, there should be silence. Not so at our house. My kids find it necessary to babble, sing, dance, make strange animal sounds, and bicker. Since they are both in the same grade, in the same class, (brave, awesome teacher), they…
That could only mean one of two things, either Rocket Boy and Channel Chick have been fighting like the karate bears, or…….the sun let loose with some powerful solar storms this week. Both are true!But which one was more powerful? Depends upon where you were standing. If you…

Yep, it’s been one of those weekends. The button that says it all is back. You know how some days you can tolerate the little darlings and some, well, if you had a rocket booster, would you use it? Black holes in space and parenting have so much in…
If you happen to venture outside, look up, it’s awesome! Thc crescent moon offers up quite a view, even with binoculars, though we did take the telescope out to the back forty and check out the craters on the bright side of the moon. OK, moving onto some…
