Find out by taking an interactive tour through the eyes of Hugo Award-winning artist Ron Miller. Text and narration by Ed Bell Artist Ron Miller takes us on a journey to eight of the most breathtaking views that await explorers of our solar system. The scale of these natural wonders dwarfs anything Earth has to offer. What might we see and feel if we could travel to these distant domains? By interpreting data from probes such as NASA's Cassini, which is now exploring the Saturnian system, and MESSENGER, which goes into orbit around Mercury in March 2011, the artist's eye allows us an early visit to these unforgettable locales. pdboyer Sat, 24 Apr 2010 17:51:58 GMT http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/channel/travelers-guide-to-the-planets-interactive#/G/1 seems to be a great teaching tool for astronomy discovered by WSN and WSST pdboyer Sun, 23 May 2010 17:31:43 GMT http://www.worldofteaching.com/astronomypowerpoints.html Table of links to powerpoint presentations relating to astronomy!
