Exciting news: kids have reached the third constellation milestone in the Summer Reading Challenge! After logging an impressive 63 million minutes, Leo, the lion constellation, has been unlocked.
Head on over to the Scholastic Summer Reading Challenge website to see the interactive milestone meter light up the virtual night sky. You'll also hear from NASA astronaut Leland Melvin as he explains how to locate Leo (look for the shape of a reverse question mark in the night sky—that's Leo's head!) and shares a fun fact about space. You can also watch the video on YouTube.
You also may notice a new summer reading illustration up on the website. It features a little boy reading in his backyard—perfect for summer!
