• 8 Wonders of the Solar System, Made Interactive
  What might future explorers of the solar system see? 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.

• Maya Astronomy
  The  Maya are well known for their precise calendar and astronomy. The four surviving written documents (which are called the Dresden, Madrid, Paris, and Grolier Codices) that they have left behind include an ephemeris that charts the heliacal risings and settings in the synodic cycle of the planet Venus and an eclipse warning table based on observable lunar and solar cycles.

• Space Station Close Encounters With Space Junk: Project Based Learning Activity that Involves an Inquiry Approach
  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

• StarTeach Astronomy Education
  The astronomy practiced by Native Americans is impossible to summarize in one explanation, since the tribes had such diverse traditions and legends. The impressive aspect of their astronomy lies in the fact that many of the tribes were hunters and gatherers. This contrasts sharply with the other ancient cultures studied here, which developed the practice of astronomy after becoming equipped with the technology of agriculture.

• The Hubble Diagram - Specific Information
  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?

• The Journey to Palomar | PBS
  It has been said that George Ellery Hale did for the entire universe what Christopher Columbus did only for the Earth. Most people have never heard of Hale, but his life and work had a profound effect on the development of 20th century science in America, most notably--astronomy.\n\nThe Journey to Palomar traces the epic personal and professional quest of the Chicago-born astronomer to build the four largest telescopes of the 20th century, culminating with the 20-year effort to build the million-pound telescope on Palomar Mountain, a project considered the "moon shot" of the 1930s and 1940s.
