The document provides an overview of the solar system. It consists of the sun and everything that orbits it, including 8 planets, many moons, asteroids, comets, and dust and gas. Our solar system is located in the Milky Way galaxy along with many other solar systems. The document then lists the 8 planets in our solar system and notes that Pluto is no longer considered a planet. It goes on to explain that students will be divided into crews to research different planets in our solar system, with each student taking on the role of a scientist, politician, captain, or presenter.
