Astronomy

Astronomy and cosmology are fascinating subjects. Here are some links to various interesting web sites and articles.

Atlas of the Universe - A nice site showing the universe from the stars around us to the

distant galazies.

Astronomy Picture of the Day - This is a fine site that shows a new astronomical picture every day with discussion of it by professional astronomers and lots of links within each discussion further explaining elements of the picture. If you don't follow the links, the pictures are still great.

Mr Eclipse - A very nice site on eclipses of various sorts.
