A boy looked at a book. The book was of the stars. He looked at one big star. He looked at another star. "What is that?" the boy said to his father. "That is Jupiter," his father said. "And that one is Saturn." The boy said, "I want to see Jupiter and Saturn." His father said, "They are so far from us." The boy was upset. "I want to see them," he said. His father said, "We can look at them in a book." "No," said the boy. "I want to go into orbit. I want to see a star up close." His father said, "I have a plan." The father went to his workshop. The boy went with him. His father had a big poster. The poster was of Jupiter. The poster was of Saturn. The poster was of a big star. "Look!" said the father. The boy looked at the poster. "It is so big!" he said. The father got some jars. He got some marbles. The marbles looked like a star. The marbles looked like Jupiter. They looked like Saturn. The boy put the marbles in the jars. He put the poster on his wall. "Now I can see Jupiter," he said. "I can see Saturn." He looked at the marbles. "And I can see a star," he said. "They are in my room!" The boy was no longer upset. He had the stars with him.

Max loved to look at the stars. Every day, he sat with his dad and read a book about the stars. Then they looked up at the dark sky.

“Look at that star!” said Max. “That is not a star,” said Dad. “That is Mars! Mars is a planet.”

Max looked up at the sky. “Can we go to Mars?” he asked. Dad chuckled. “Mars is very far from us. We cannot go there.”

Max was upset. “I wish I could see the stars up close.” Dad had a plan. “Come with me!” he said.

Dad and Max went to the workshop. He got a big box, some dark paper, and a jar of small lights. “What are we making?” asked Max.

“You will see!” said Dad. Max and Dad put the dark paper on the box. Then they made small holes in the top. Dad put the lights in the box.

“Turn off the lights!” said Dad. Max looked up. Small spots of light shone on the walls. They looked just like stars!

“Look!” said Max. “It is like the sky!” Dad smiled. “Now you have stars by your bed.”

Max looked at the spots on the wall. “Mars is far,” he said, “but the stars are here!”
