Two recent published guides help educators and the general public journey to the universe. The writers and editors of StarDate and astronomers from the University of Texas at Austin produced each of the forty-page guides. "The Solar System" includes the sun, planets, and minor bodies of the solar system. "Beyond the Solar System" includes stars, extrasolar planets, galaxies, cosmology, and some tools of astronomers. Both guides include activities for families and/or teachers. In addition to the printed guides, the content and related resources appear on-line at stardate.org. Spanish translations of the content are being prepared for radiouniverso.org. The McDonald Observatory Educator Advisory Board is performing evaluation of the guides for use by K-12 teachers.Support from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration under Education and Public Outreach supplements to Grant/Contract/Agreement No. NNG04G131G and NAG5-13147 issued through the Office of Space Science is gratefully acknowledged.
