Be sure to take a look at my Physics Links, if you are interested.

Astronomy fascinates me. There is so much out there that we can't understand, and yet so much we are discovering every day. The physics of time, and space, and relativity are so interesting; to think that if we traveled near a black hole time would stand still. . . (Have we not all wanted time to stand still at some point in our lives?) So continue, into the wonders of time, our universe, and beyond.
"The most incomprehensible thing about the universe is that it is comprehensible." -Einstein

APOD
Astronomy Picture of the Day. This is one of the greatest sites on the net. The photography there is absolutely awe-inspiring, and constantly amazes me with the beauty that is hiding in our galaxy and beyond. This should be a daily stop!

International Space Station
Brought to you by NASA. A glimpse of life in space. Their mission is to build and operate the International Space Station - a world class orbital research facility that is safe, productive, affordable, and attainable.

National Geographic Star Chart
A really wonderful new site! Go into the heart of the galaxy via a chart from National Geographic. Overlaid with images from the Hubble Space Telescope, and information about what you have chosen to look at. Take virtual control of the Hubble, and pilot it to where YOU want to go! A must see site!

Comet Hale-Bopp
Comet Hale-Bopp, potentially the brightest comet to visit our solar system this century, is now visible in the Northeast before morning twilight. Other sites to get information about the comet are here and here.

NASA's Comet Observation Home Page
Maps, Charts, information, and images galore of Comet Hale-Bopp

Astronomy Magazine Online
ASTRONOMY Magazine is the world's largest English-language magazine for astronomy. Now you can read feature articles and special sections online. You can also get a peek at next month's issue.

NASA's Planetary Photojournal
See NASA's space satellite photos at their fascinating Image Gallery

The National Space Science Data Center
In addition to actual spaceflight mission data, NSSDC archives hundreds of astronomy and astrophysics catalogs, many of which are accessible electronically.

The Aurora Page-Images from Space
A wonderful page with photos of the Northern Lights from space. Inspiring photos!

The Hubble Space Telescope Gallery
Absolutely AMAZING photos of the universe we live in. . .

A Virtual Tour of the Sun
In the 'Trip through the Sun' you'll see flames on the Sun larger than ten earths, winds going 1000 mph, and more. It's a very good site.

AstroWeb: Astronomy on the Internet
AstroWeb is a collection of pointers to astronomically relevant Internet resources.

AstroWeb: Astronomy/Astrophysics on the Internet
Another collection of pointers to astronomy-related information available on the Internet.

Windows to the Universe
This is a great site. . .offers you the choice of your information level, and whether or not to use Shockwave. (I recommend you use it if you have it!) It is full of information, so settle in with some coffee when you go there. . .

Constellation Mapping with Shockwave
This site maps any constellation you select, first drawing an outline, and then filling in the stars and planets, all in Shockwave. If you don't currently have Shockwave, you can get it from Macromedia. This site is a LOT of fun, and a really good learning place for astronomy buffs!
