after decades of rigorous research from the world's top astronomers, mathematicians, geologists, physicists, engineers, futurists, we know that in 2012 a series of cataclysmic forces will wreak havoc on our planet, Oh good something to look forward to a disaster movie about the end of the world based on predictions in the Mayan calendar. Can you tell the difference

It's even better in the details. If you click on the right-hand tabs, you get a description of each module: even cooler, each description includes a 360" rotation animation for the module.

Water detected all over the moon - not just the poles. And large ice sheets just below the surface on Mars.
Quoted: Recent data from three spacecraft provide clear evidence of lunar water, while a Mars orbiter discovers huge ice sheets buried on the Red Planet. Read this blog post by William Harwood on The Space Shot.

In 1961, President John F. Kennedy announced an ambitious goal of sending an American safely to the Moon before the end of the decade. NASA answered the challenge in 1969 with the successful landing of the Apollo 11 Lunar Module (LM). I still wonder why we went up their, they say 2/3rds of the earth have still not been explored why are we concentrating on space. Are we looking for a good land deal who can tell. Me I would like to see more moon exploration and see who will be the first one to claim the moon as their real estate could it be the Koreans or the Japanees as they are now interested in space and the really need it

MIT students send a weather balloon into space (93,000 ft) taking pictures continuously. Total budget: $150!
Quoted: This page shows pictures from our project to send a balloon into space. 1337arts - space photography and aerial photography using a high-altitude balloon.

This website is a journey through through the cosmos. Personally I have always wanted to know what is out there in the great beyond which is the Universe.
At the moment I personally know very little about astronomy but this site is set to change this and lets hope we can all learn together.

The moon shots that researchers and the public have gazed at over the years are mainly copies--or copies of copies--that don't match the originals in clarity, color, or contrast.
But at last, we all will get to see the originals. Arizona State University (ASU) in Tempe, the Lunar and Planetary Institute, and NASA are posting high-resolution scans of the 35,000 photos from the Apollo missions--from film that has been chilling out in a freezer in Houston, Texas, for more than 30 years.
The digitized images will enable researchers to draft more precise topographic maps of the lunar surface, for example, and to evaluate possible landing sites for future moon missions, says geologist Mark Robinson of ASU. The archive is just gearing up but will have several hundred images by next month.
