Here, we take a look at Kepler’s last three years of successful exoplanet hunting and some of the best discoveries it has made. We look forward to many more exciting findings and, of course, many more awesome "bullshit artist renderings."

Welcome to the Earth Impact Effects Program: an easy-to-use, interactive web site for estimating the regional environmental consequences of an impact on Earth. This program will estimate the ejecta distribution, ground shaking, atmospheric blast wave, and thermal effects of an impact as well as the size of the crater produced.

«Космоснимки» — проект ИТЦ «СканЭкс» по разработке технологической платформы Веб-Гис и созданию единой основы спутниковых снимков всей территории России. Проект складывается из этапов создания отдельных мозаик спутниковых снимков по городам и областям РФ. Единая пространственная основа создается с целью использования в качестве базовой в геоинформационных и веб-картографических сервисах. Технологическая разработка направлена в первую очередь на развитие средств доступа к пространственным данным и данным дистанционного зондирования в Интернет.

Глядя на мир, нельзя не удивляться!

The International Year of Astronomy 2009 is a global effort initiated by the International Astronomical Union and UNESCO to help the citizens of the world rediscover their place in the Universe through the day- and night-time sky, and thereby engage a personal sense of wonder and discovery.

The 365 Days of Astronomy Podcast is a project that will publish one podcast per day, for all 365 days of 2009. The podcast episodes are written, recorded and produced by people around the world.

A different astronomy and space science related image is featured each day, along with a brief explanation.

This challenge is brought to you by the HiRISE camera team in collaboration with NASA Quest.
