[] Flash timeline showing the international space station coming together. [|http://celestia.sourceforge.net] Celestia is a downloadable space exploration program that maps out our solar system and beyond. You can float through space, learning the names of the stars or zoom in on stars and planets for a close-up look. You can also visit the Motherlode where you’ll find add-ons such as real or fictional spacecraft or planets that make Celestia even more fun. [] See the moon as no one else has. View these 360-degree panoramic photos taken by astronauts from Apollos 11, 12, and 17 that let you feel like you're standing on the moon. Make sure you go to full screen to get the full experience! Just an idea... why not use one of these images as a story starter for writing? [|http://skyguy.com] We call it “The Red Planet.” But how did it get that way? Ask the SkyGuy! Tom Vilot from Boulder Colorado has created a very cool site that provides answers to astronomy questions in high-quality, entertaining short videos. So if you've been wondering... Why are galaxies shaped like a swirl? What is a solstice? Or how many stars are out there? Just ask the SkyGuy! [|http://www.stellarium.org] Stellarium shows the sky as you would see it from the great outdoors. The virtual sky is based on data collected from the European Space Agency's Hipparcos Mission. It allows Stellarium to depict the positions and motion of the stars accurately. By default, Stellarium shows the sky according to the current date and time but it can show nearly any date or time. You can also change your viewpoint on the globe, meaning you can see the sky as you would from your backyard. Different tabs will let you learn about constellations, zoom in on planets, moons, galaxies, and star clusters. Stellarium is a free download and works on either Windows or Mac OS X. Check out the necessary specifications before downloading. [|http://www.worldwidetelescope.org] Microsofts Worldwide Telescope will bring the universe to your computer. You can view images taken by the Hubble and Spitzer telescopes and you can even see the aftermath of supernova explosions and other phenomena. To use the WorldWide Telescope, you need Microsoft's .NET Framework 2.0. If you don't have it, you'll be prompted to install it. It's free. www.kidsastronomy.com
