| We're continually reviewing new sites and adding resources, and appreciate your comments and suggestions. Suggest a link here |
| This is an excellent Amateur Telescope Making site with design and
crafting information, books and vendors, a terrific gallery of telescope
pictures and descriptions, and lots of great ATM links. |
| Historical information, ATM resources, and links to other ATM sites
are found in this worthwhile site, produced by the Tallahassee
Astronomical Society. |
| AAVSO has compiled 7.5 million observations of variable stars (those
that change in brightness) since its founding in 1911. They coordinate,
evaluate, and make data available to researchers. There's more
information here on variables than most of us knew existed. |
| So what are the legal issues of outer space? The Archimedes Institute
wants "to facilitate the development of sensible and efficient
legal standards for the high frontier." This site combines a
surprisingly large library of law documents, international agreements,
legislation, reports, and aerospace resources with a forum for
discussing space law and policy. Interesting. |
| This page has lots of news articles about astronomical phenomena. For
each area (astronomy, space flight, research, meteorology, etc.) there
are pictures, animations, software, and organization links. |
| This magazine is published for the advanced amateur astronomer and
tries to include all observations of astronomical interest as soon as
possible after they are made. Pictures, links, and "what to do if
you think you have made a discovery." Great pictures of Comet
Hale-Bopp and a plan to help you find it. |
| Beautiful deep-sky astronomical photographs, tips for astrophotography
and digital enhancement, and a list of related links make up this
interesting site produced by a professional photographer. |
| This site tells you everything you want to know about JPL programs,
NASA, comet observation, and more. Included is information on further
astronomical web sites, and great software. |
| The online version of the world's largest English-language astronomy
magazine includes select full text articles as well as news and links to
a number of resources for amateur and budding astronomers. It also has a
nice "beginner's guide." |
| This is an excellent British astronomy magazine, this month's issue
described and last month's online. |
| The Smoky Mountain Astronomical Society of Knoxville offers
club, satellite, and planet information of interest to Tennessee
stargazers, and also includes categorized links and a Deep Sky Online
section with articles, charts, pictures, and how-to information. |
| The Workbook was originally used for training mission controllers at
NASA, but was later declassified, and is a great teaching tool for
physics and astronomy. It's broken down into chapters that cover the
solar system, earth and its reference systems, gravitation and
mechanics, interplanetary trajectories, planetary orbits and
electromagnetic phenomena. Contains experiments and can be downloaded
and printed. |
| Lots of information and pictures of Comet Hale-Bopp, as well as
predictions of its future brightness and performance. Comet definitions
and ephemerides for current visually observable comets are also
included, along with a number of comet images not available elsewhere on
the Net. Very current! |
| What are constellations anyway? This site offers a definition, plus
statistics, history, and mythology for all 88 constellations and the
named stars in them. You'll also find information on Messier objects,
Milky Way photos, and interactive star charts. |
| This is a really entertaining multimedia guide to the cosmos, starting
with the Big Bang and containing Quicktime and MPG movies, sound files,
and fascinating text. The opening page features a short film of Michael
Norman, National Center for Supercomputing Applications/University of
Illinois. |
| The cosmos is the subject of this ambitious site, and the creators
present a lot of information well. You can read about space exploration,
our solar system, what lies beyond, and astronomical news, or you can
ask a question of a professional astronomer or even take a 3D walk
through the solar system. |
