SPACE LINKS

  Before the Challenger space shuttle disaster, NASA was planning to follow a teacher in space with a journalist in space, so they sent out application packets to apply for the ride. The explosion put an end to the idea, and put the application back in our files to be only a momento. The Internet, however, has given us the next best thing to a real ride. There're so many wonderful space pictures out there, we've devoted a whole page to them.

The NASA Homepage
Like most other government pages, the NASA site follows the theory that the more information and links it throws at you the better.   Nonetheless, you can get to some breathtaking views of space.  For those of us who will never get there.
NASA Photo Gallery
Or go directly to the photographs.
Mars Atlas home page
This is as close as most of us will ever get to landing on Mars.  The virtual lander takes you there.   You can also click on a site for the odds that the upcoming Mars probe will land there.  Not to be missed.
Space Shuttle Photo Repository
If useless stuff amuses you, then the Web is heaven.  Occasionally, however, we find a real gem.   This is a library of pictures shot from the space shuttle missions.   Awesome.
Astronomy Picture of the Day
Each day a different image or photograph of the universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer.  Cool.
The Nine Planets
A multimedia tour of the solar system. Comprehensive information and links for all the planets and their moons. Many photographs, including a 6-mg TIFF file of the sun.   Way cool.
Catching the light  --  Astrophotography by Jerry Lodriguss
Awesome space pictures.   In addition to his stunning astrophotographs, Lodriguss offers a complete tutorial on astrophotography.   This link takes you directly to his showcase.
Hubble's greatest hits
And last, but far from least, a direct link to the best of the Hubble space telescope pictures.  This opens with the famous picture of the Horsehead Nebula.  Then it gets better.
