Watch This Guy Build a Massive Solar System in the Desert. Science, Optics and You. Table of Contents Science, Optics and You is a science curriculum package being developed for teachers, students, and parents.
These activities are designed to promote the asking and answering of questions related to light, color, and optics. Moon Shapes. Beautiful Poster Shows Entire History of Space Exploration. The public’s imagination may be focused on NASA‘s work towards sending a manned mission to Mars, but we’ve been exploring the mysteries of our cosmic neighbors for a long time now.
In fact, there have been so many probes and ships sent into space that it can be hard to keep all of them straight–what they were, where they went, when they left and arrived, and even what their purpose was. Fortunately, tracking our history of space exploration just got a whole lot easier (and a lot more stylish) thanks to this beautiful, detailed poster that charts all of our successful solar excursions. This hand-illustrated, 39″ by 27″ chart comes from the folks at Pop Chart Lab, and it is a color-coded chart that “traces the trajectories of every orbiter, lander, rover, flyby, and impactor to ever slip the surly bonds of Earth’s orbit and successfully complete its mission.”

Lee, University of Nebraska The Brooks/Cole Virtual Astronomy Laboratories consist of 20 virtual online astronomy laboratories (VLabs) representing a sampling of interactive exercises that illustrate some of the most important topics in introductory astronomy. The exercises are meant to be representative, not exhaustive, since introductory astronomy is too broad to be covered in only 20 laboratories. ClassAction. Announcement - We normally simply add new questions to the bottom of a module to prevent the numbering associated with questions from changing.
However, rarely a complete reorganization is appropriate to group questions of a similar topic near each other or to add a large amount of new material. Please note that during May (and likely into August) of 2013, substantial revisions are being performed on the Jovian Planets (and moons) Module.Please note that during May (and likely into June) of 2013, substantial revisions are being performed on the Debris Module.Please note that during April of 2013, substantial revisions were performed on the ExtraSolarPlanets module. The Binary and Variable Stars and the Coordinates and Motions Modules were both reorganized around April of 2012.

Solar Week is coming back in the fall -- October 17-21, 2016 -- with a focus on the 2017 total solar eclipse, informal activities and cool conversations with leading solar scientists. The website will be getting a new look, too. In the meantime, feel free to use the daily pages, and watch this space! Solar Week, a week of online cool facts, hands-on activities and games about the sun for ages 9-14, happens twice a year, approximately mid-to-late March and mid-to-late October. [Daily Facts, Games and Activities are available all year; "Ask a Question" has archived answers only -- until LIVE during Solar Week.] PLEASE REGISTER to participate in Solar Week.

Cosmic_Calendar-wikimedia commons. Galleries - NASA Solar System Exploration. Like early explorers mapping the continents of our globe, astronomers are busy charting the spiral structure of our galaxy, the Milky Way.
Using infrared images from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope, scientists have discovered that the Milky Way's elegant spiral structure is dominated by just two arms wrapping off the ends of a central bar of stars. Previously, our galaxy was thought to possess four major arms. This annotated artist's concept illustrates the new view of the Milky Way, along with other findings presented at the 212th American Astronomical Society meeting in St. Louis, Mo. Solar System 101.
