PS: May I recommend that you consider introducing your children and grandchildren to the wonders of astronomy as a hobby. Beats hanging out at the mall and endless, mind warping, sociopathic, video games. Here are links to two astronomy mags so you can learn more: Sky and Telescope, and Astronomy magazine.

Show them Google Sky, and of course there's an app for Android phones.
