Fly Through Space
Reviewed by Brad Strong, a reader from Denver, Colorado, who is affiliated with the site. "Fly Through Space is a 3D game-based learning site, which has free games for children and adults. These games teach the player about astronomy, geography, and music theory. Shockwave and a reasonably fast connection are required. You fly a 3D spaceship through the solar system and learn at the same time."

Exploratorium: Transit of Venus
"Only six Venus transits have occurred since the invention of the telescope in the 1600s. And this is the first since the invention of live, Internet webcasts. Tune in during the transit, or come back an hour later, to view the event as seen from Athens, Greece. Before then, visit to learn what a transit is, and why it is important. Follow the Teacher’s Guide link in the lower-left hand corner for printable handouts (in Word and PDF) for grades five through twelve."

Exploring Mars
"My Red Planet pick of the day goes to Exploring Mars, creating by a group of scientists fromJet Propulsion Lab and University of California at Los Angeles. It’s a great place to start forschool reports (try Mars at a Glance) or browsing for the fun of it. The Mars Science section isoutstanding, and the Mars History section is fascinating. ""The Babylonians called Mars Nergal -the great hero, the king of conflicts."" Lots of photos and illustrations, and a good navigationsystem make this site work for all ages."

Exploratorium: Solar Eclipse
""Eclipses appear often in the mythology and literature of different cultures and different ages, most often as symbols of obliteration, fear, and the overthrow of the natural order of things. The word eclipse comes from a Greek word meaning ‘abandonment.’ Quite literally, an eclipse was seen as the sun abandoning the earth." This fabulous Exploratorium site is my pick of the day. Come here for the live Webcast on August 11, for eclipse mythology, for an illustrated scientific explanation of solar eclipses, and for important safety information."

Evidenceof Primitive Life from Mars
"How did the NASA scientists know the meteorite came from Mars? Theconclusive evidence was gases trapped in the rock’s interior, which matchedthose found in the Martian atmosphere. Direct from NASA, this site for highschool students (and adults, of course) contains the complete text of theoriginal "Science" magazine article announcing the Mars discovery, aswell as audio coverage of the original press release.<!--"

EUVE Satellite Dataflow Demonstration
"NASA’s Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer (EUVE) Satellite revolves around the Earth every ninety-six minutes in a circular orbit at an altitude of 330 miles. It was launched in 1992 to study extreme ultraviolet sources in space. How does it transmit its findings to scientists back on Earth? By sending its data to a Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System (TDRSS) which circles above the Earth in a 24-hour rotation. If you have eight friends in a room, you can simulate these rotations and revolutions by each taking a role as a satellite or a planet. To help you visualize the problem, be sure to view theJava animation first."
