Astropuppies in Space DVD (2009) is a huge hit in our house right now. Educational & kids find it funny. Age on the back of the DVD says 4-9, but I think a 9 yo might find it a bit silly.
True Book series by Elaine Landau. One on each of the planets. When I picked these up, I thought they might be a bit much for a 6yo & 4yo, but they are highly engaged in this topic, so the books are going over well. Refreshingly, there has not been any evolutionary content in the planets that we've read so far (Mercury, Earth). However, there were a few mentions of "billions of years" in the Earth book that those who hold the young earth viewpoint will want to be aware of.
