A little preview
The little space museum had a model of Saturn with rings that shimmered when sunlight touched them. Alex and classmate Tori arrived early to help set the exhibit. A volunteer named Mr. Imani showed them a crate of tiny disks and foam bits used to build the rings. Alex loved how each piece was different—some sparkled like frost, some were matte like river stones. They began to fit pieces on a big wire hoop and imagine icy rocks circling a giant planet.
