Space Word Searches

Puzzles for looking up: Space for the words of rockets, orbits and astronauts, Planets and the Solar System for the worlds that circle the Sun, Astronomy for the telescopes and the people behind them, the Moon and its phases, and the Constellations of the night sky.

There were nine planets until 2006, when the International Astronomical Union defined a planet as a body that has cleared its orbit of other objects. Pluto shares its orbit with the icy bodies of the Kuiper belt, so it became a dwarf planet, and the solar system was left with eight.
