links to science and research
sites
NASA http://www.nasa.gov
Lots of good stuff here, obviously. You can watch NASA TV from their site during
notable launches. Get general and sighting information about the International
Space Station (ISS). They even have tips on hosting a great star party!
HEASARC http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov
In addition to data tables for extreme ultraviolet, x-ray, and gamma ray missions,
the High Energy Astrophysics Science Archive Research Centre keeps data on deep
sky objects, bright and multiple stars (the bsc5p table), etc. You can query the
databases dynamically and output to a variety of formats. Incredible!
CSA http://www.space.gc.ca
Want to become an astronaut? Apply here!
Hubble http://hubblesite.org
Fantastic photography. What else needs to be said.
SETI http://setiathome.berkeley.edu
You can help in the Search for Extraterrestrial Life and other science projects
by lending unused cycles from your computer(s). Requires installation of BOINC
software.
SOHO http://sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov
A safe way to look at the sun. Or to verify the location of sunspots. Daily photographs
in various spectra.
