This is a list of some very good web sites providing information and photographs relating to "real" space exploration and technology.
Take some time to check them out. If you have more, feel free to add to this thread.
hubblesite.org/
Hubble Telescope with a weath of space photographs, reference information and all around great place to visit.
www.jpl.nasa.gov/
Jet Propulsion Labratory site. Great information on the Mars Rover and a lot of good scientific reference material.
visibleearth.nasa.gov/
NASA's Visible Earth. A collection of images and animations of the Earth. Fantastic images.
spaceflight.nasa.gov/home/index.html
NASA. Home of the Human Space Flight programs. You cannot miss this one.
www.nasa.gov/externalflash/Anniversary_VisMar/index_noaccess.html
Vision/Mars Anniversary. Check out the video material and the graphics.
www.noao.edu/
National Optical Astronomy Observatory. Check out the image library and other great materials here. Note the ".edu" suffix for "education".
science.nasa.gov/Realtime/
NASA Satellite Tracking. Note in the URL, it says "realtime". That's right. Check it out. You can see locations of the space station, shuttle and other objects in real-time graphics.
www.nineplanets.org/
The Nine Planets. Tour our own Solar System and enjoy the flight.
www.planetary.org/
The Planetary Society is a great group you can join or just go here for a visit.
www.globalsecurity.org/
Global Security. This is a MUST site to stay current on global events. Track major storms or disasters around the world with satellite images. Learn about security around the world.
NOTE: I only included sites relating to SPACE and SPACE TECHNOLOGY in this list. I will add to them as time goes by.
If you have sites for a "different" topic, please start a NEW thread.
If you have other SPACE related sites, ADD a post to THIS thread.
Following some basic rules of organization makes it a lot easier to find information later on.
