This organization is a link between professional astronomers, amateur

astronomers, teachers, and the general public. They have lots of neat

stuff, including a really great catalog of astronomical items: t-shirts,

posters, slides, puzzles, etc. Many of the slides I show in class can be

purchased from the ASP through their catalog.

You are encouraged to join the ASP! The annual cost for students is only

$35. Membership privileges include discounts on catalog items and a

subscription to Mercury, a non-technical astronomy magazine. See the Web

site for information on how to join.

Has lots of beautiful HST photos. Here’s the more general Space

Telescope Science Institute website.

All sorts of interesting things (e.g., “Black Holes: Science Fiction or

Science Fact?”) can be found here.

Astronomer Sten Odenwald answers questions from the masses. The query

that’s been bugging you is probably already answered in the more than

1,300 posted replies. But if not, just ask Sten.

Mostly a society for professional astronomers, but they have some items

that are of potential interest to the general public.

This has the latest information on various searches for planets around

other stars, including the local (and world’s best!) search (led by Prof.

Geoff Marcy).

This has the latest information on the local (and world’s best!) search

for nearby supernovae (exploding stars), run by Alex.

This “Multimedia Tour of the Solar System” is “an overview of the

history, mythology, and current scientific knowledge of each of the

planets and moons in our solar system. Each page has text and images, some

have sounds and movies, most provide references to additional related

information.”

There is lots of good information about solar eclipses here, with links to

other sites.

Contributions from artists, scientists (including Alex!), and astronauts

on what got them started, what motivates them, what promotes creativity,

etc. Also: thoughts on settling Mars.

Good for the phases of the Moon, etc.

Miscellaneous: These are amusing and interesting:
