105. Meadow View Observatory A collection of color ccd images of galaxies, nebulae, star clusters and solar system objects. http://www.astroimager.com/

Welcome to Bill Walser's Meadow View Observatory The observatory saw first light 15 May 1999 and is located in central North Carolina. It was motivated by love of deep space color images and my frustration over setting up and taking down telescope and computer equipment every clear night (Ignoring the issues of bugs, heat and ice). Total construction time was about two months including the dome, its base and the control cabin. It now takes less than ten minutes to start imaging. The dome is a ten foot ProDome and the cabin is a twelve foot square kit available through Lowe's. The cabin can be close to the dome because the ring of trees around the meadow raises the horizon thirty degrees in all directions. Some of the images included are early efforts (some obviously so). The learning curve for this type of imaging is difficult because of the broad range of knowledge required and a considerable amount of "hands on" doing (and frustration). Although some are technically weak they are still beautiful. If you enjoy these images, I would invite you to make donations to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Astronomy Department to support their graduate and research programs. The current department chairman is Bruce W. Carney who can be reached at 919-962-2079 or

Solar System Adventure Science Activity Writing a science fiction story is not only fun, but a great way to learn about science. For this activity, students learn about the solar system and our galaxy from World Wide Web sites and write a science fiction story based on what they discover. WHAT YOU NEED Time online for your students Paper and pencils A printout of the story starters WHAT TO DO Have your students learn about the Solar System by directing them to The Galaxy Page or the Inquirer's Guide To The Universe (see below). Encourage students to download and print helpful information. The Galaxy Page The Galaxy Page , maintained by the University of Arizona chapter of SEDS (Students for the Exploration and Development of Space), hosts a rich, well-organized collection of links to space-related sites. Resources include virtual tours, graphics, and information categorized under The Solar System, Astronomy, Aerospace, and Visions of the Future. Aspiring science fiction writers will find a treasure trove of ideas for future spaceship designs, orbital colonies, and more in the Visions of the Future section. Go to The Galaxy Page at www.seds.org.

117. The Space Elevator Reference Brought To You By SpaceRef Scientific, engineering, economic and policy challenges inherent in constructing the solar systems first space elevator. http://www.spaceelevator.com/

The Space Elevator Reference Fiction or reality? With recent advancements in technology many people now believe it is possible to build a space elevator. This site will serve as a reference tool for those interested in exchanging ideas on the scientific, engineering, economic and policy challenges inherent in constructing the solar systems first space elevator. Marc Boucher (SkyGazer), moderator. What is a Space Elevator? A space elevator is a physical connection from the surface of the Earth, or another planetary body such as Mars, to a geostationary Earth orbit (GEO - In the case of Earth) above the Earth at roughly 35,786 km in altitude. It is hoped that someday a space elevator would be utilized as a transportation and utility system for moving people, payloads, power, and gases between the surface of the Earth and space. It makes the physical connection from Earth to space in the same way a bridge connects two cities across a body of water.

118. Our Solar System - True To Scale solar system. If you reversed would draw the earth 1 millimeter in diameter youwould need for the whole solar system a sheet of paper of 500 meters length! http://www.panoptikum.net/sonnensystem/solarsystem.htm

Solar System T r u e T o S c a l e Why is this something special? Musik aus Musik ein Well, you can draw the spaces between the tracks of the planets true to scale and you can draw the sizes of the planets relative to the sun true to scale - but just try both on one sheet of paper! If you would use a normal sheet of paper and draw at one side the sun and at the other side the most outward planet Pluto true to scale in size and distance the planet would have a diameter of 0.1 thousandth of a millimeter. The earth wouldn't be much bigger, about 0.6 thousandth of a millimeter. You would see it only with a microscope but you couldn't find it on the paper. If you reversed would draw the earth 1 millimeter in diameter you would need for the whole solar system a sheet of paper of 500 meters length! Maybe somebody could check this? At a walk through a "way of planets" where the dimensions were explained I got the idea to show this in a web browser
