My guess is that just about everyone here could not only find a teacher who would be thrilled to have and use this in her or his class, but that just as many people here could afford to see that it is given to that teacher. Think cosmically, act locally:
"If you teach K-8, Starry Night(TM) EDU 1.0 PLUS supplemental reference
software is designed to make this exciting thematic unit easy to teach
and fun to learn.
If you're a parent, tell your child's teacher or principal about
Starry Night(TM) EDU 1.0 PLUS and enrich your child's classrom
experience. Better yet, buy it as a classroom gift to ensure that the
most up-to-date and stimulating desktop planetarium software is
available to motivate your child's interest in space science and
astronomy.
Exciting events in space, like Mars' closest proximity to Earth in
recorded human history, the landing of the Mars Rovers, and the
relaunch of the manned space program will unfold during the coming
months. Make sure that your students and children have the complete
background revealed by Starry Night(TM) EDU 1.0 PLUS.

sell for $79 or more. Go to http://www.starrynight.com/education/ to
