•  C-SHIP
The only reason Einstein's special theory of relativity seems weird to those learning it is that
the velocities we're familiar with are such a tiny fraction of the speed of light we've never had
a chance to gain an intuitive sense of relativistic effects. If the speed of light were 100
kilometres per hour, footballers would have no trouble dealing with relativistic goal shots.
C-ship uses computer image synthesis to put you aboard a starship entirely consistent with
the laws of physics and lets you look out the window to experience special relativity with
your own eyes.

Through funding from NASA, faculty at Montana State University and classroom teachers from across the nation have developed an extensive library of on-line and interactive K-12 science education materials for teaching astronomy. Closely aligned with the NRC National Science Education Standards, these web based lessons make maximum use of exciting on-line NASA resources, data, and images. In addition to classroom-ready materials using contemporary teaching strategies, CERES has developed several on-line NASA data search engines and two graduate level distance learning courses, available over the internet to K-12 teachers.
