One night, Ellie was reading about the planets and learned about Pluto, a small icy world once called the ninth planet. She wondered what Pluto was like and why it was now called a “dwarf planet.” As she drifted off to sleep, she felt herself floating through space again. When she opened her eyes, she was near a small, icy planet glowing softly in the dark.

One evening, Ellie thought about the planet farthest from the Sun—Neptune. She had read that Neptune was a mysterious blue planet with fierce storms and strong winds. As she drifted off to sleep, she felt herself floating through the vast darkness of space. When she opened her eyes, she was in front of a deep, beautiful blue planet surrounded by swirling clouds.

One night, Ellie looked out her window and wondered about the distant planets at the edge of the solar system. She had read that Uranus was an icy, blue-green planet tilted on its side. As she drifted to sleep, Ellie felt herself floating through space once more. When she opened her eyes, she was in front of a cool, pale blue planet with a gentle glow and a strange tilt.

One evening, Ellie sat by her window, looking up at the bright evening sky. She knew that Venus, the planet closest to Earth, often shone brightly in the evening. Curious to learn more, Ellie closed her eyes, and suddenly, she was floating through space again. When she opened her eyes, she was face-to-face with a planet that glowed in shades of yellow and gold.

One night, Ellie lay in bed, thinking about the planets. She’d recently learned that Mercury was the closest planet to the Sun, and she wondered what it would be like to see it up close. As she drifted off to sleep, she suddenly found herself floating in space, right next to a small, rocky planet that seemed both warm and mysterious.

One evening, as Ellie was reading her favorite book about space, her eyes kept returning to one page—the page about Saturn. She loved its big, glowing rings and all the tiny moons that seemed to dance around it. She wondered what it would be like to see Saturn up close.

One night, as Ellie looked up at the stars from her bedroom window, she noticed a bright, reddish light in the sky. “That must be Mars!” she thought, remembering what her dad had told her about the planets. She wondered what Mars was like and wished she could visit.

One starry night, a curious girl named Ellie looked up at the sky, her eyes sparkling with wonder. She loved imagining the planets and stars far away. Her favorite was Earth, the planet she lived on. She’d learned a little about it but wanted to know more.
