Solar System Resources

Here are some AWESOME sources of information about our Solar System:

• The Nine EIGHT Planets -- This site has lots of beautiful photos and text.


• Views of the Solar System -- This site features statistics and detailed information. (And why not view the site en español?)


• Planetary Fact Sheets -- On this site, you'll find lots of numbers, and lots of math. (It's NOT for the faint of heart!)
• The Earth and Moon Viewer -- Take a look at our home planet and its biggest satellite... from any angle!

While learning about the planets, you might find it useful to have a periodic table handy:

• Here's a basic Periodic Table
• Here's a pretty darn fancy Periodic Table
• (Here's a pretty much useless Periodic Table)

A Good Shot from Saturn

So, do you think you're a good shot at pool? Maybe you should try a long shot like this:

Yes, Cassini's done it again! This is a shot of Earth, viewed THROUGH the rings of Saturn, FROM the shadow of Saturn! (That means the sun is in this picture, but it's hidden behind Saturn.)

Here's the link: http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Newsroom/NewImages/images.php3?img_id=17524

I know it seems kind of funny to think of this as a long-range, complicated pool shot, but remember that Cassini didn't just HAPPEN to be in this position. Some very skilled scientists from NASA managed to put it out there.

"World Water Crisis" Photo Gallery

I've just discovered time.com's photogalleries, including such interesting slideshows as World Water Crisis...

These are beautiful photos, and each one has some good scientific and social information in the caption. Which is your favorite? Well, maybe I shouldn't ask about your "favorite" photo, since many of them are rather scary or disgusting. Which photo do you think is the most memorable? What does the caption tell you about it? (Include a link to the photo, if you can.)

Drought!

Last year in Georgia, droughts hit record levels in some counties. Georgia pumps 10 million gallon of waste into wetlands every day, and by 2010, they want to up that amount to 24 million gallons. Fortunately, these last two months or so have been filled with thunderstorms and that added a lot of water to their reservoirs.

Cold Case

Everett is one lucky guy. Everett, an NFL player had the worst thing happen to him, a spinal cord injury. When a football player get's somthing like that you usually don't return. In September is when he had this injury. By October he was walking. How? It is called hypothermia or below body temperature which just saved his life. Pretty cool!

Here is a link to a picture of him on the cover of Sports Illustrated:
