This site from the SkyServer allows you tolearn all about moving objects as well as how to find asteroids. Users that feel adventurous may even decide to take the "Asteroid Hunt."

The first meteorite fossil discovered in this period when tests can be run on it, was found at Chicxulub in Northeastern Yucatan, Mexico. Scientists believe it is part of the meteorite which made the dinosaurs extinct.

This is the homepage of the spacecraft NEAR Shoemaker, the first to conduct a long-term, close-up study of an asteroid. The site contains information on the asteroid 453 Eros, including mass, structure, geology, composition, and gravity.

This site from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration provides a fun project on rockets. "Nothing in space stands still. Everything either orbits around something else, or moves toward or away from something else. So how do...

View photographs of space craft and read about their assembly, launching, and where they went.
