See also the Science Strategy section for more information about how NASA Science is pursuing these questions. pdboyer Sat, 06 Nov 2010 19:33:35 GMT http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=8-wonders&sc=WR_20100406 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. pdboyer Sat, 24 Apr 2010 17:51:58 GMT http://climate.jpl.nasa.gov/evidence presents many lines of reasoning to support the reality of global climate change; great images and graphics pdboyer Tue, 14 Jul 2009 12:25:37 GMT http://climate.jpl.nasa.gov/Eyes/eyes.html Play the interactive game metropolis to find the 10 biggest cities in the world based on their carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere above them.

Very interactive and high tech! Interactive Whiteboard pdboyer Wed, 22 Jul 2009 17:21:34 GMT http://www.nasa.gov/topics/earth/features/greenland_flights.html Imagine a piece of ice 1,000 miles long, 400 miles wide, and 2 miles thick in the center. That's the Greenland ice sheet. But that island-sized piece of ice is melting, so NASA researchers are flying to the Arctic this week to learn more about the nature of those changes. pdboyer Tue, 14 Jul 2009 12:02:20 GMT http://www.nasa.gov/audience/forkids/kidsclub/flash/index.html Space-themed activities that would be good for interactive whiteboards. Some of it aimed a bit young for our kids, but the jigsaw puzzle I saw had 81 pieces!
