The Astronomical Society of the Pacific is happy to announce the  
return of the Universe in the Classroom, its free quarterly  
newsletter for teachers and other educators who want to help children  
of all ages learn more about the wonders of the universe through  
astronomy. Each issue contains information on a topic of current  
astronomical interest, along with hands-on classroom activities to  
make the topic come alive for students and a list of resources for  
exploring the topic deeper.

The Fall 2006 issue, Mercury: Its Time Has Come, is now available.  
Looking toward the Mercury transit on November 8, this issue explores  
the tiny planet closest to the Sun and includes two classroom  
activities that will get your students up and moving while learning  
about the meaning of the transit, as well as tips for observing the  
transit from your school.
