Orbits are Odd: Crash Course Kids #22.2

Last time we talked about the orbits of the Earth and our Moon. But today we re going to go a little bigger... well, a lot better. Did you know that there is a massive black hole at the center of our galaxy? Or that Pluto s orbit is really... weird? Today, Sabrina talks about these things and more on Crash Course Kids. This first series is based on 5th-grade science. We re super excited and hope you enjoy Crash Course Kids! ///Standards Used in This Video/// 5-PS2-1.
