Space word search puzzles

Planets, rockets, astronauts and the odd comet: these space word searches send the whole solar system into letter grids. A science-class favorite — hunting for JUPITER teaches its spelling better than any list — and just as good for stargazers at home.

Each grid prints with its solution, and the three levels go from a gentle orbit (level 1, across and down) to full zero-gravity (level 3, words in all eight directions).
