Tip of the Day

Most people, it seems, cannot point to any constellations by name, or find the planets in their wanderings among the stars. Few can tell why the Sun rises where it does or why the Moon has phases. SkyNet is for all those who have ever wondered at the beauty of the night sky, or marveled at the technology that allows us to glimpse our own Earth from space and explore other worlds.

The Space Academy has a JAVA applet that lets you see how each planet's orbit relates to the others in the solar system. The 3-D view allows you to change your orientation from edge-on, to overhead, below, and all points in between.

The Nine Planets is a multimedia Tour of the Solar System. This site contains an overview of the history, mythology, and current Scientific Knowledge of each of the planets and moons in our Solar System. Each page has text and images, some have sounds and movies.

Were the Apollo landings faked? Do comets streak across the sky? Why does the Moon appear larger at the horizon? Is it true you can only stand an egg on its end during the equinox? Does water "swirl" down the drain one direction in the Northern Hemisphere, and the opposite direction in the Southern Hemisphere? You might be surprised by the facts!
