</div>Your best starting point is here:<br>
<a href="http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Activities/Moon" target="_blank">http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Activities/Moon</a><br>
<br>
You also have the Telescope activity:<br>

And Alex Kleider demonstrating the telescope device designed by La<br>
Main à la Pâte (the "Hands On Science" foundation in France):<br>

</div>You can take this PDF and maybe explore possible adaptations,<br>
translations and/or enhancements:<br>

</div>This is exactly what La Main à la Pâte has been trying to do.<br>
The design is here, they are only looking for massive commands<br>
to start the production -- AFAIK discussions are pending, but<br>
not conclusive so far.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps!<br>
