handy reference for astro-newbies

Hi all,

I found this website which is meant for kids, but if you're completely new to astronomy like myself ... then it's a good reference to have.
I did know most of it like the names of planets, sequence they go in and what asteroids and comets are, but there is information like the distances and sizes of planets, elements of which they are made up of and such detail which I never knew and found quite interesting!

Im aware most of you probably know most of this already so dont flame me
