One way to share Astronomy with the kids is to get them into iridium flare and satellite spotting. Download an ephemeris from Heavens Above, lay down a tarp for the kids to lie on, then point out where to look in the sky. It can be very exciting for them. The tension building as the time get's closer. Then screams of "There it is!!". Brilliant!
