(meteorobs) The Skies Are Vast With Unknowns.

[Jasmine Dyoco]

Hello,

Watching “Gravity” again recently with some friends made me realize what 
little they - all grown adults, obviously - actually know about astronomy.  
Some of them feel uncomfortable and nervous because of how big and 
mysterious it is for them.  This got me excited about putting together some 
resources on the theme of space.

At EducatorLabs, we love every opportunity to share educational material 
with others. Fun and engaging educational material is all the more welcome 
when it lets us discover the world beyond our immediate surroundings - 
either at school or at home. So, we’ve gathered and pasted below a handful 
of excellent astronomy resources we thought you might be interested in 
reviewing and sharing with others.

Once you’ve had a chance to review the collection, please feel free to 
share and post (maybe here: 
http://lists.meteorobs.org/pipermail/meteorobs/2005-June/002627.html?) as 
many as you’d like:

Jasmine
