The Future of Space Exploration (NASA)
http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/hqlibrary/pathfinders/futurespace.htm The Future of Space Exploration (NASA) This area of inquiry can expand as far as the human imagination can stretch. However, this bibliography will not cover science fictional ideas like teleportation, but what is in the grasp of today's technology. Some topics within this area of inquiry, such as missions to the minor planets, the Moon, and to Mars, nuclear propulsion, and the colonization of outer space, have their own bibliographies. |

3D Lunar Eclipses, Solar Eclipses simulations
http://http://www.forgefx.com/casestudies/prenticehall/ph/eclipse/eclipses.htm 3D Lunar Eclipses, Solar Eclipses, and Moon Phases simulations This is real-time 3D simulation allows the student to control and interact with solar eclipses, lunar eclipses, and the different phases of the moon. Eclipses depend on the moon's revolution around Earth. The moon's orbit is tilted with respect to Earth's orbit. So the moon rarely goes directly between Earth and the Sun or directly behind Earth. When the moon does move into one of these positions, an eclipse occurs. This simulation allows the student to control the position of the Earth, Sun and moon while viewing the scene from a number of different angles and perspectives to fully understand the concepts being taught. |

This selection of nineteen "Headquarters Films (HQ)" preserved in the National Archives, represents a series of over 250 titles collected by the NASA Office of Public Affairs between 1962 and 1981. They were produced using footage from the various NASA research facilities and space flight centers around the country. They utilized the latest techniques in animation, graphic design, and space/satellite imagery. Primarily designed to disseminate information to the American public and the world at large about NASA activities of their day, the films have become an invaluable visual record of the history of the U.S. Space program, providing coverage of such significant events as Dr. Robert Goddard's early rocket designs; astronaut John H. Glenn's first manned orbital space flight in the Friendship 7 spacecraft; the Apollo 11 lunar mission; the exploration of deep space and other planets; and the role of female astronauts in the 1970s and early 1980s. Several of the titles chosen have been cited at domestic and international film festivals or have received awards for excellence in photography and documentary filmmaking.

Wikijunior Solar System
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Wikijunior_Solar_System Wikijunior Solar System This page is for the Wikijunior (working title) Solar System project. When working on this project, remember that it's aimed at children. It's more important to be understood than to be precisely accurate on every detail. Use technical vocabulary when you need to, but don't use big words where simpler language would work. This is a project of Wikijunior, a collection of free books written especially for kids to learn about science and nature. Many people have been involved with writing this book. This project is hosted on Wikibooks, and you are encouraged to help participate with writing and editing these books. |

Hong Kong Space Museum
http://www.lcsd.gov.hk/CE/Museum/Space/e_index.htm The construction of the Hong Kong Space Museum commenced in 1977. It is strategically located at the centre of Tsim Sha Tsui - the defunct terminus of the Kowloon-Canton Railway. Commissioned in October 1980, it was the first local planetarium for the popularization of astronomy and space science. The unique egg-shaped dome rendered the 8000-square-metre museum to be one of the most famous landmarks in Hong Kong. Inside the Space Theatre, there is a hemispherical projection dome with a diameter of 23 metres. Boasting the first OMNIMAX film projector in the eastern hemisphere, Hong Kong Space Museum was also the first planetarium in the world to possess a fully automated control system at its Space Theatre. Each year, the Museum produces two multi-media planetarium shows and introduces the best foreign OMNIMAX films to Hong Kong. |

Asteroid Introduction
http://www.solarviews.com/eng/asteroid.htm Asteroids that are on a collision course with Earth are called meteoroids. When a meteoroid strikes our atmosphere at high velocity, friction causes this chunk of space matter to incinerate in a streak of light known as a meteor. If the meteoroid does not burn up completely, what's left strikes Earth's surface and is called a meteorite." |
