Hi All,
Just a quickie post today. Click on this link for NASA's (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) Picture of the Day.
Here is a summary of NASA's picture of the day: "Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer." Now that's a quick and accurate summary of the website!
Note that there are links below the picture. The webpage is very heavily hyperlinked. For example, you can click on Subaru Telescope, locked in a cosmic dance, Hubble Legacy Archive, loops and tails, interacting galaxies back up to quintet status and constellation Pegasus. Clicking on these links will get you ever deeper into the various (and myriad) sub sites of the NASA website. Very cool stuff - fore example, I clicked on the 'interacting galaxies back up to quintet status link' and I got more links from the Chandra X-Ray Observatory! On this page you can find Chandra Observatory images by date - which goes all the way back to 1999!
Those of you who like 'all things NASA would do well to visit the Multimedia link on the NASA homepage. It is very, very interactive and has links for the Public, for Educators/Teachers, and For Students. The shear number of videos, images, NASA TV Live, Interactive Features, Podcasts and 3D Resources on the Multimedia page is awesome!
So sit back and gear your tablet, laptop or desktop computer up for a long, long adventure when you visit the NASA website!
Enjoy the links and the website!
Regards,
Stu
