| We're continually reviewing new sites and adding resources, and appreciate your comments and suggestions. Suggest a link here |
| The Galileo project, NASA's probe of Jupiter and its moons, is here
detailed for teachers K-12. |
| The most useful information on this site is its detailed list of
extrasolar planets and starmaps. The maps are great if you're trying to
find certain stars and there are plenty of interesting VRML maps of
stars if your browser can handle those. |
| The Planetary Data System's Mars Explorer lets YOU explore Mars like
you were an astronaut without ever leaving home. Pick your desired place
of exploration and then just zoom in and zoom out. Interesting! |
| Lunar Outreach Services brings you information on the current phase of
the moon...and we're not just talking about what phase it's in. You'll
find information on lumination percentage, the moon's age, and the
lunation number. Or plug in a year between 1761 and 2084 and find the
moon's phases for that year. |
| Dedicated to bringing the Internet into the classroom, this site also
offers space mission information. It's very well done and an excellent
source for educators. |
| Here you will find a beautiful selection of images, animations (have
quicktime loaded), and artwork focusing on the planetary rings of
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. In addition, the site offers a
data set catalog, other information, and some online tools. |
| This hotly debated question is open for discussion on this
thought-provoking site. Lots of historical information is included as
well to help users formulate and support opinions and postings. Neat. |
| This site has lovely gallery photos, an informative tour of the solar system,
links, a Challenger memorial, and java games. Very well put together, it's
an all around beautiful site. |
| Set the time, date, and viewpoint and view the solar system! |
| This is The Mining Company's site for Astronomy and Space Science.
It's a good place to come and read about what's going on in
space...today! With weekly features, feature archives, and annotated
links to other great astronomy sites, this is a good place to have fun
learning. |
| This site details a space exploration simulation program set up
for 4th graders in the Coshocton, Ohio, public schools. Detailed in word
and picture, it looks like an excellent effort with great student interest
and involvement. |
| This is a great site! Lots of graphics, so be prepared, but they're
very well done. You can check out current headlines on space topics,
look at 101 things to do on Space Day (May 22), send postcards, and look
at a page with information and activities for the classroom. A great
feature of the site is the Speak Up section. There's a question (such
as, "Should humans live on Mars?") and exploration of the
issues surrounding the question. You can participate in surveys
concerning the question and compare your answers to those of others. |
| CNN's top-notch coverage of the space program includes the latest
developments in man's exploration of space. Excellent source for
researchers as well as casual stargazers. |
| This site has Hubble facts, lists of job postings for STScI, long
range plans, publications, extra resources, and web sites. Check out the
current pictures from space. |
| The solar investigations people at Stanford University are "providing
Solar On-Line Activity Resources for the joy of solar science
exploration." They've done a good job with this large site,
offering news, activities, quizzes, solar facts and folklore
(fascinating!), tons of science and space links, solar art, and much
more. |
| This is a great spot for you and your child to learn about astronomy
together. One part, the High-Energy Astrophysics Learning Center, is
pretty advanced in its study of X-ray and gamma-ray technology, but it's
well done and allows you to ask questions of professional high-energy
astronomers. A nice feature is the linking of possibly unfamiliar words
to a glossary entry. |
| One of the good things at this site is the section for Backyard
Stargazing Tips where you get advice on what’s up there each night of
the next week. There is also a Sky Almanac, Telescope Guide, and the year’s
guide to eclipses and meteor showers, plus a glossary and a gift shop. |
| This virtual tour of the sun is an informative and interesting place
to find out about our nearest star. Effective graphics, MPEG movies, and
interesting commentary make this a great spot to learn about solar
flares, how light is produced, the sun's influence on earth, much more.
