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://continuingeducation.suite101.com/article.cfm/space_station_close_encounters_with_space_junk The space station's near misses with debris are a continual issue, which provides excellent resources for scientific project and problem based learning in science. Debris in space is a constant problem for the international space station (ISS). Even with constant monitoring by mission control, there are invariable near misses with the space station. For example, the current near miss situation is with a three year-old piece of an Arian Rocket 5 rocket, an old European rocket, which will come with seven miles of the space station. The current near miss of space junk is of even more concern, because the space shuttle and ISS must track and avoid any impact to ensure safety of all astronauts and both spacecraft. If the space station and shuttle are forced to m pdboyer Sat, 24 Apr 2010 16:04:38 GMT http://cas.sdss.org/dr5/en/proj/teachers/advanced/hubble/specifics.asp Teacher's Guide to Specific Sections Introduction Let students read through the Introduction on their own. Ask them why the discovery that the universe was expanding was so unexpected. Point out that its discovery required three separate threads to come together: Einstein's General Relativity, Slipher's measurements of redshifts, and the building of the new 100" telescope on Mount Wilson. Ask them how the three other lines of evidence support the big bang theory. Get them thinking about how different lines of evidence add up to support a scientific theory. Ask: what makes a good theory? pdboyer Sat, 24 Apr 2010 16:02:46 GMT http://www.telescope.com/control/main Save on Telescopes & Binoculars! - Telescope.com sunny16nyc Tue, 09 Mar 2010 05:39:08 GMT http://www.presidiacreative.com/21-unbelievable-photographs-of-mars/ irishdancer0215 Thu, 11 Feb 2010 07:12:58 GMT http://www.exploremarsnow.org/ pdboyer Sun, 15 Nov 2009 17:33:56 GMT http://www.cloudynights.com/index.php Cloudy Nights telescope reviews and forums Science > Astronomy mcswell Sat, 17 Oct 2009 14:13:37 GMT http://www.worldwidetelescope.org/Home.aspx A web-based version of WorldWide Telescope is also now available.
