I’ve compiled a list of links to sites I think are really neat/informative/thought-provoking.  Have fun and be sure to send me your feedback  and/or suggestions! 

Educational/Informative Sites

http://www.cnn.com/TECH/space/ - Up-to-the-minute, breaking news on all things space and science.  It’s as current as current events get!

 http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/index.html - Photos,, video tutorials, press releases and a groovy site for kids to learn more about our awesome universe!

 http://www.madsci.org/ - A site wwhere you can ask any science question you have and get an answer from a real scientist!  Check out their “Random Knowledge Generator” or their extensive archive of FAQ’s. 

http://www.astronomycafe.net/ - “The webssite for the astronomically disadvantaged”, hosted by Dr. Sten Odenwald.  Topics range from purely scientific to inexplicable phenomena that really weirds people out. 

Humorous Astronomy/Science Sites

http://home.g-net.net/~andy/astrohum.htm - Funny stoories, jokes and one-liners that astronomers can really appreciate.  The “dirty” list is great! 

http://www.physlink.com/Index.cfm - Check out the “fun” section for jokes, cartoons and prose about physics and astronomy. 

http://space.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.geocities.com%2FCollegePark%2F6174%2Fh--scien.html - Yeah, it’s a mouthful for your browser, but the laughs you get are worth it! 

Neat Stuff

http://www.spaceweather.com/ - A great ttool for getting the skinny on solar activity, comets, aurorae, and the general “weather” in the “Earth-Sun environment”.
