Attention all stargazers !! If you're interested in satellites or astronomy, you've come to the right place! Their aim is to provide you with all the information you need to observe satellites such as the International Space Station and the Space Shuttle, spectacular events such as the dazzlingly bright flares from Iridium satellites, as well as a wealth of other space flight and astronomical information. They not only provide the times of visibility, but also detailed star charts showing the satellite's track through the heavens. All their pages, including the graphics, are generated in real-time and customized for your location and time zone. |

Then move through space towards the Earth

After that, begin to move from the actual size of a leaf
into a microscopic world that reveals leaf cell walls,
the cell nucleus, chromatin, DNA and finally,
into the subatomic universe of electrons and protons.

Well,
I guess that's all for
now. Thanks for visiting.
I sincerely hope this web site has been a culturally rewarding
experience for
you (joke).
It's grown considerably since first being launched in Jan. '97,
and it is unlikely you will be able to see everything in only 1 visit.
So please bookmark this site and come back when you can stay longer.
Or as we say back in Texas,
"Y'all cum back now, ya heah?"
Happy surfing !!
And
don't forget to drop
me a line if you have time.
If you have any comments, suggestions, complaints,
or would just like to yell at me,
you can contact me here.
Congratulations!
You are person number
to visit this site so far today!
Ha Ha Ha !
The
last time I fiddled
