Times are for the middle of the country; Seven Nights uses your own ZIP, which stays on your phone. If the sky is clear. A grown-up goes out too.

For grown-ups

A week of looking up, five minutes a night: Space's Seven Nights of Sky gives one thing to find each night (the Moon, a planet, a meteor shower), worked out ahead from a frozen sky table for your ZIP, which stays on your phone. Your child taps "I saw it" each night they find it, and seven ticked nights put a Sky Week stamp in this book. A grown-up goes out too; cloudy nights simply wait. It practises noticing, patience and the habit of looking again.
