The above is an interactive infographic. We have also developed a complimentary poster that you can view here: Sizes of the Universe poster. If you're technically inclined, here's a look at the references we used to construct these infographics: Facts About The Universe. Introduction: This interactive infographic from Number Sleuth accurately illustrates the scale of over 100 items within the observable universe ranging from galaxies to insects, nebulae and stars to molecules and atoms. While other sites have tried to magnify the universe, no one else has done so with real photographs and 3D renderings. How To Use: Credits:

Listen to an Earthquake’s Eerie ‘Whale Songs’
Is it possible to “hear” an earthquake? Not the rumbling of the ground that results, but the earthquake itself. Even if you could, what’s the point of listening? About a dozen years ago, geophysicist Ben Holtzman and musician/sound designer Jason Candler set out to answer these questions, with a side goal of sharing their passion for earthquakes with the public. From the fruits of their research, the SeismoDome show was born. Holtzman and Candler co-produce the show—with Holtzman writing scientific content, creating sounds from seismic data, and working with collaborators to produce the visual elements, while Candler handles the sound engineering and design and helps with the writing and conception of the show. When asked what listening to earthquakes can contribute to our knowledge of them, Holtzman explains how our subconscious factors in: “Humans perceive an enormous amount of information about physical processes through sound; we do it all the time, mostly subconsciously,” he says.

NASA's Eyes: Eyes on the Solar System
Eyes on the Solar System lets you explore the planets, their moons, asteroids, comets and the spacecraft exploring them from 1950 to 2050. Ride with the Curiosity Rover as it lands on Mars or fly by Pluto with the New Horizons spacecraft all from the comfort of your home computer. Using real trajectory data you can recreate famous moments in solar system exploration, or preview exciting adventures yet to come. Fly with the Voyager spacecraft on their grand voyage, orbit Mars with MAVEN, fly by a comet with Deep Impact or Stardust, and observe our home planet alongside the spacecraft that keep track of Earth's climate. Want a quick dose of exciting exploration? Try the 'Simple' mode of Eyes on the Solar System to explore exciting destinations and missions and learn about the people involved in making it all happen. All these experiences are available on a Mac or PC by downloading NASA's Eyes. Credits Producers: Kevin Hussey, Stephen Kulczycki, and Alice Wessen Technical Director: Jason Craig
Curiosity Cabinet
Over the past 25 years I have accumulated a collection of various gizmos, devices, toys etc. which to me are excellent examples of scientific principles or things that you look at and you say "That's impossible!" except it's staring you in the face. In the hope that others may also find them interesting and with the help of two undergraduates, Jacy Lundberg and Omar Khan, we have created videos of many of the items in the collection. Jacy and Omar are currently seniors in the Boston College pre-medical program. In the olden days some people assembled what were known as curiosity cabinets.
Un jeu sérieux sur la gestion de projet
Diriger un projet n'a rien de simple. Qu'il soit petit ou grand, il y a énormément de choses à prendre en compte. Les différentes étapes qu’il implique sont autant de paliers qu’il est bon de connaître pour mener à bien, concrétiser ses envies, ses idées. Il est possible de bombarder les adolescents de connaissances sur la gestion de projet, mais la pratiquer, c’est d’autant plus efficace. En avant la musique ! Backstage Game est un serious game conçu par Id6tm et une multitude d’organismes différents allant d’établissements scolaires aux missions locales. Il va se promener de lieu en lieu en répondant à des missions. Une version solo, jouable gratuitement après inscription, propose un mode de jeu incluant une banque de temps limitée. Backstage-Game a été conçu pour être utilisé en groupe et en présentiel. -Cahier d’activité de l’apprenant joueur -Scénario d’usage à destination du formateur -Manuel du jeu -Ressources théoriques annexes -Outils de suivi statistique Niveau : Secondaire
HubbleSite: News - NASA Space Telescopes Provide a 3D Journey Through the Orion Nebula
Astronomers and visualization specialists from NASA’s Universe of Learning program have combined visible and infrared vision of the Hubble and Spitzer space telescopes to create an unprecedented, three-dimensional, fly-through view of the picturesque Orion Nebula, a nearby star-forming region. Viewers experience this nearby stellar nursery “close up and personally” as the new digital visualization ferries them among newborn stars, glowing clouds heated by intense radiation, and tadpole-shaped gaseous envelopes surrounding protoplanetary disks. Using actual scientific imagery and other data, combined with Hollywood techniques, a team at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, Maryland, and the Caltech/IPAC in Pasadena, California, has created the best and most detailed multi-wavelength visualization yet of this photogenic nebula. The fly-through enables people to experience and learn about the universe in an exciting new way.

Présentation
English Nous vous convions à explorer le système solaire selon trois thèmes : - le thème encyclopédique qui vous donnera toutes les informations descriptives des corps du système solaire ; - le thème des découvertes qui vous montrera les grandes découvertes qui nous ont menés aux connaissances actuelles ; - le thème de l'aventure spatiale qui vous fera suivre les principales sondes envoyées pour l'exploration du système solaire. Nous vous invitons également à visiter quelques observatoires astronomiques qui nous permettent de voir l'univers sans y aller, à comprendre à quoi sert l'astronomie et à approfondir certaines notions et certains concepts fondamentaux. Pour cette visite, vous pouvez vous laisser guider en suivant l'icône ou bien explorer le thème que vous souhaitez à partir de cette page, du plan du site, de l'index ou des liens transversaux ("En savoir plus") proposés au cours des pages.
