Why? The explorable story. Uwingu. How Big is the Solar System?

Both the relative size and spacing of the planets are demonstrated in this outdoor exercise, using a mere peppercorn to represent the size of the Earth. Guy Ottewell has kindly given permission for this electronic presentation of The Thousand-Yard Model; his exercise is presented in its original form, indexed with a few anchors to help you find you way around the large file. We also include a catalog describing several Ottewell publications. Image of the planets courtesy of NASA. Introduction Can you picture the dimensions of the solar system?
Probably not, for they are of an order so amazing that it is difficult either to realize or to show them. You may have seen a diagram of the Sun and planets, in a book. 10 paces. Another 9 paces. Planets For Kids - Solar System Facts and Astronomy. .≡Système Solaire≡. Astronomy For Kids - KidsAstronomy.com. Astronomy For Beginners...Links. Heres some astronomy links for you, some of them pages I found useful when I've been looking for information.
If you have any good astronomy links or have your own site you would like me to link to you can submit them (although I would appreciate a link in return!). For a list of the very best personal astronomy sites in my opinion have a look at the list of winners of my website award Please remember: I am not responsible for the content of these external sites. Astronomy Hubble Space Telescope A lot of the pictures on this site are from Hubble and NASA, who have kindly released their pictures into the public domain. NASA NASA obtains lots of great images from it's many missions and probes (and of course Hubble), you can find them on their website (once again most of these pictures are available publicly). 3D Galaxy Map 3DGalaxyMap is a 3D representation of our Galaxy, the Milky Way.

Au printemps, quelle plus belle constellation que celle du roi des animaux célestes, Le Lion, l’une des rarissimes figures du ciel qui ressemble vraiment à la créature qu’elle est censée incarner et l’une des plus anciennes.
Pour le retrouver, partons de la Grande Ourse qui nous servira de point de départ. Prenez les deux dernières étoiles de la Casserole (tel que vous le feriez pour rejoindre l’Etoile Polaire) et prolongez-les dans l’autre sens, vers le sud, vous filerez droit vers le Lion. Ce dernier est bien installé au milieu du ciel dans la position hiératique du Sphynx, les pattes repliées sous deux étoiles brillantes, Denebola (la queue du lion en arabe) et Régulus (le petit roi en arabe).
Un peu d’histoire : Le Lion n’est autre que le Lion de Némée vaincu par Hercule (ou Héraclès), lors de ses 12 travaux. La mère d’Hercule (nommé Alcide à sa naissance) était une des nombreuses maîtresses de Zeus, Alcmène, petite fille de Persée. Module Lunaire - Widget de la Lune en temps réel. Les @stropacks. Les @stropacks sont des activités qui se veulent "spécifiques" aux saisons.
Toutefois, avant de commencer de telles animations, il est bon de savoir que quelques "classiques" des activités astros existent... C'est pour cela qu'en complément nous vous proposons deux dossiers complémentaires : - Un dossier "les bases" qui regroupe des activités ou des notions "classiques" de l'animation en astronomie qui peuvent être nécessaires avant toute activité...
