CYBERTOWN CAMPUS

ASTRONOMY AND SPACE SCIENCE SCHOOL

This comprehensive site provides support and services for students and teachers to fully utilize the Internet in the classroom as a learning tool. It includes general information, interactive projects, shuttle missions and press releases, etc.

Put your students in touch with NASA scientists, researchers, and engineers. Participate in exciting Online Interactive Projects.

Provides behind-the-scenes look at NASA's Galileo spacecraft on its long voyage to Jupiter, and its arrival on Dec. 7th, 1995.

Public Electronic Library designed for teachers, but great for young space buffs.

Featured are digital aerospace comics about the Apollo 13 rescue, the Wright Brothers, and Charles Lindbergh as well as an innovative space movie archive including quicktime morphs of the original seven Mercury astronauts, an Apollo lunar lander becoming a famous starship, Apollo 13 astronaut Jack Swigert morphing over astronaut Mattingly in the original crew photo and other one of a kind features found nowhere else among space education archives. Additionally, a unique SF file exists at the site which teaches space technology using sci-fi pulp and comic book covers. By comparing and contrasting SF artists' concepts of space hardware with NASA spacecraft, students learn about aerospace science. Many other files are present including a space calendar, space quotes, space spinoffs and others. Downloadable versions of everything are included at the site for MACs and PCs using runtime versions of HyperCard and ToolBook 1.5. The site is a relatively recent addition to the Net.

An educational multimedia adventure.

Great links to The Universe, The Solar System, Space Exploration, and more.

Views of the Solar System has been created as an educational tour of the solar system. It contains images and information about the Sun, planets, moons, asteroids, comets and meteoroids found within the solar system.

Links to References and Sources for the Classroom, Historical stuff, Observations and Space Exploration.

Students can look down at the Earth as if they were in space via this site. They can view either a map of the Earth showing the day and night regions at this moment, or view the Earth from the Sun, the Moon, the night side of the Earth, above any location on the planet specified by latitude, longitude and altitude, or from a satellite in Earth orbit.

This excellent site gives you something new to look at everyday. A must for astronomy enthusiasts.

Find out about the Hubble Space Telescope's latest mission. Get the latest on the Galileo Probe data. Find out about two newly discovered extrasolar planets!

Educational programs and products that JPL is sharing with the global educational community. Also provides links to JPL home pages of educational value and related Internet links including Earth and Space Science Links and Teachers Resources .

This module is the first in a sequence of training modules that pertain to space flight operations activities. There is no prerequisite. This module is a prerequisite for the next in the sequence, "End-to-End Information System." (Note: The End-to-End Information System module is intended for JPL internal use only.)

Maintains the largest collection of historic air and spacecraft in the world. It is also a vital center for research in the history, science and technology of aviation and space flight including images and descriptions of famous airplanes and spacecraft.

Numerous links arranged alphabetically like a dictionary.

A postscript based magazine you can download and print. Has links to Astronomy News, JPL in Hyperspace, and more.

A nice list of Astronomy servers including JPL, Astronet, Hubble, Skyview, Lowell, and dozens of others.

Paths, charts, and animations of predicted eclipses through the year 1999.
