Other Space Sites

Liftoff to Space Exploration Headline news items and jumping points to information about space.

Astronomical Image Library There are an incredible number of astronomical images available on the Internet - far too many for a single site to archive. Yet, until now astronomers have been missing a central index of these images. We hope to make this Web page fill the gap.

CEPS/NASM Smithsonian Institution The Center for Earth and Planetary Studies (CEPS) is a scientific research unit within the Collections and Research Department of the National Air and Space Museum, Smithsonian Institution. CEPS performs original research and outreach activities on topics covering planetary science, terrestrial geophysics, and the remote sensing of environmental change.

Extrasolar Planets Encyclopedia Great amount of information about planets outside of our solar system.

Gemini 8m Telescopes Projects The Gemini project is a multi-national effort to build twin 8.1 meter astronomical telescopes utilizing new technology to produce some of the sharpest views of the universe ever.

High Energy Astrophysics Science Archive Research Center The HEASARC is a multi-mission astronomy archive for the EUV, X-ray, and Gamma ray wave bands. Because EUV, X and Gamma rays cannot reach the Earth's surface it is necessary to place the telescopes and sensors on spacecraft.

Index of Maps of the Planets & Satellites Beginning with the systematic mapping of the lunar surface more than three decades ago, over 1600 maps of the planets and satellites of the Solar System have been produced by the U.S. Geological Survey and by divisions of the Defense Mapping Agency.

Infrared Processing & Analysis Center (IPAC) The Infrared Processing and Analysis Center (IPAC) exists to carry out large, data-intensive processing tasks of critical importance to NASA's infrared astronomy program, and to provide scientific expertise on those projects to the astronomical community.

Los Alamos National Laboratory Top-level index to technical reports on topics such as astro-physics.

MIT Microwave Subnode Home Page This site is used to archive and distribute digital data related to the study of the surfaces and interiors of planetary bodies using active and passive microwave sensing techniques.

NASA Planetary Rings Node The Rings Node of the Planetary Data System is devoted to archiving, cataloging and distributing scientific data sets relevant to planetary ring systems.
