With the advent of radios, RAM, and rockets, scientists found that Earth's environment extends nearly a million miles into space, and the Sun brings us far more than warming daylight. From observatories in the air and on the ground, physicists now study an invisible realm as changeable as the weather, windier than a mountain peak, and as electric as a city night...They call it geospace.

To understand how scientists interpret features on Europa as shown by the Galileo Spacecraft, you will first need to learn more about geologic processes on Earth, such as plate tectonics, sea floor spreading, and cross-cutting relationships. A great activity that teaches geological processes including those on earth.

WAY COOL !!! Put your home computer to work doing REAL science !! FREE !!

The SETI@home program is a special kind of screensaver. Like other screensavers it starts up when you leave your computer unattended, and it shuts down as soon as you return to work. What it does in the interim is unique. While you are getting coffee, or having lunch or sleeping, your computer will be helping the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence by analyzing data specially captured by the world's largest radio telescope.

Now that the Space station is actually in orbit, NASA has combined all the news and updates related to manned space flight on this new consolidated page. A great way to stay current with everything that humans are doing in space.

a collaboration between NASA's Planetary Data System Imaging Node, the Solar System Visualization Project,and JPL's Media Relations Office, is designed to provide you with easy access to the publicly released images from various Solar System exploration programs. The system database is currently populated with approximately 1340 images; more are being added every day.

Have you ever wondered when we will be able to travel to distant stars as easily as in science fiction stories? NASA Lewis' Marc Millis, the leader of the new NASA Breakthrough Propulsion Physics (BPP) Program, offers this assessment of the prospects for achieving the propulsion breakthroughs that would enable such far-future visions of interstellar travel.
