Windows to the Universe, from the University of Michigan, just seems to grow more and more incredible each month. Astronomy is a hook to interdisciplinary resources in the humanities.

The Solar Center explains sunrise-sunset, folklore and art about the sun around the world, magnetic fields and simulations of the sun's interior where no instruments can go. Its section about folklore tells sun stories all over the world. Activities, a scavenger hunt and Q&A space for expert scientists to respond to student queries can also be found at this excellent site.

The American Meteor Society has an excellent site about meteors and includes a calendar of upcoming meteor showers--capture your students' dreams via just the naked eye.

Astroscale contains a simple metric from which anyone can discover what their weight would be on any planet in our solar system.

Genesis Mission web site focuses on NASA's Genesis mission. Created and maintained by educators at the Mid-continent Regional Educational Laboratory in Aurora, Colorado, the Web site presents a wide variety of resources and standards-based instructional materials for the science educator, including an interactive Modeling the Periodic Table.

At Starstuff the designers--current or newly minted astronomers--pride themselves on interacting directly with the public rather than via a third party, NASA I suppose. This perspective received recognition during the pre-mature news release of finding water on Mars.

What about astronomy during daylight hours when most students, of course, are in school? See Astronomy With A Stick. And for a special view of Jupiter and its moons look at Shallowsky.

EarthSky Earthcare's topics and resources are divided between today and tonight. Its main dissemination source is the radio.

Since speculation about Stonehenge, a new interdisciplinary exploration has emerged, archaeoastronomy. It is the blending of understanding ancient civilizations and the constellations. Fascinating...

To help students understand rare events go to Once in a Blue Moon.

The Starry Night software shows what the local sky will look like at 8pm on a given evening as well as patterns of movement of the constellations.
