Instruments can help us see
What we might not understand
Like magnetic fields and gravity
That affect our solar system's land

There are several planets out there
Each with its own unique vibe
Some have thick atmospheres to share
While others have rings to jive

They all orbit around the sun
In patterns we call missions
Probes collect information
To explore these celestial missions

We learn so much with each new quest
And every mission that we launch
Helps us better understand and digest
This universe we so eagerly want to touch

So let's keep exploring, kids
And never stop our thirst for knowledge
For who knows what else we'll discover amidst
This vast and wondrous cosmic collage.

Reflections

1. What are some of the instruments that scientists use to study the solar system?
2. How do magnetic fields and gravity affect the planets in our solar system?
3. Why do probes collect information during their missions to explore the universe?
4. What are some of the unique characteristics of the different planets in our solar system?
5. Why is it important for us to continue exploring and learning about the universe?
