Virtual Journey into the Universe
"If you have Shockwave and Java capabilities, fasten your seat belt for this exceptional virtual tour of our solar system. Starting in the cockpit, you have your choice of ten destinations: from the Sun to Pluto and Neptune. Upon arriving at each planet (or star), you can peruse the illustrated features (such as Exploration, Surface, and Interior) or explore the interactive component that might be a game or an explanatory animation. A tip of my astronaut’s helmet to the student team that created this site for the 1999 ThinkQuest competition."

Venus Transit for Kids
"Written just for elementary-age kids, this European Southern Observatory site is wonderful. My favorite section is How to Observe the Transit at Your School, because it describes how to setup a pair of binoculars so a group of kids (or adults) can safely see the transit. Other excellent clicks are the introduction at The Transit of Venus ( which shows how to make a paper plate model of the transit) and Why is the Transit is So Important?"

Transit of Venus 2004
"To really appreciate the depth of Chuck Bueter’s effort, take a look at the site map. With everything from transit quotations ("This sight...is by far the noblest astronomy affords..." Edmond Halley) to Transit of Venus Chocolate Chip cookies, this site must truly have it all. Start with maps of where the transit can be seen, and then proceed to the large safety section with links to pages explaining how to construct a pinhole viewing apparatus."

Total Lunar Eclipse
"An eclipse of the Moon can only take place at Full Moon, and only if the Moon passes through some portion of the Earth’s shadow. The shadow is actually composed of two cone-shaped components, one inside the other. The outer or penumbral shadow is a zone where a some portion of the Sun’s rays are blocked. In contrast, the inner or umbral shadow is a region devoid of all direct sunlight. This educational site is my pick of the day for its straight forward explanations of the three types of eclipses and the time-zone specific diagrams. """
