Space Scoop covers the topics of astronomy and earth science as they embody a unique combination of scientific and cultural aspects: Our awe-inspiring Universe captures the imagination of children, making it a great stepping-stone to introduce youngsters to science and technology, while the vastness and beauty of the Universe and our small, blue planet within it provides a special perspective that can help broaden the mind, stimulate a sense of global citizenship and tolerance, and encourage a respect for the planet.
