You have probably already tried to imagine the Earth, the moon and the stars in space: What shape is the Earth we live on and how big is it? How do the sun and moon move? Where are the stars? Where is up and where is down in space? When there was no space travel, people had their own ideas about the world, which were as different as the people and places where they lived.
We'll show you some of them and tell you how children from different countries imagine the world. And we'll show you how celestial phenomena - such as the phases of the moon - can be explained.
