The most spectacular night skies are revealed when we

is perfect for space fans and young budding astronauts!
Outer space is out there for exploring, and Captain Milo is
ready for takeoff! If only he didn't have to wait for his Second-in-Command--or
as he also calls her, Mom--to report for duty. Yet Mom's list of daily tasks
grows ever longer, and she can't launch until they're done. So, like any good
captain, Milo offers to help! Work? Check. Dinner? Check. Cleanup? Check. When
the weather forecast predicts a middle-of-the-night meteor storm, Captain Milo
wants desperately to witness it. But will his Second-in-Command have enough
time to accomplish this magical mission with him?
