How Far Can We See at Night? (Space.com - Weinstock) "On a clear dark night away from city lights, the star-spangled heavens can create an overwhelming sense of infinity. Seemingly countless points of light, so far away, urge one to contemplate the insignificance of a lone planet amid the incomprehensible breadth of the universe." "Almost all of the sky objects visible to the naked eye are stars that reside in our galaxy. In fact the bulk of those you can see are relatively nearby, within a few thousand light-years. Most are actually within a few hundred light-years, with the exception of a few intrinsically brilliant stars that are many thousands of times more luminous than the Sun." "For comparison, the Sun is about 26,000 light-years from the galactic center, orbiting on an outer spiral arm. The galaxy itself is about 100,000 light-years wide. We see most of its contents only with powerful telescopes working at various wavelengths of light not visible to humans." 12-03 Issues - Stephen Hawking's Universe (PBS - Hawking) Provides theoretical papers related to the nature of the universe. Life Began in Space? (Scientific American) "Louis Allamandola and his colleagues at the NASA Ames Research Center have created primitive cells of a sort—empty, two-layer membranes (see image)—from elementary chemicals, exposed to conditions like those in interstellar clouds. 'Scientists believe the molecules needed to make a cell's membrane, and thus for the origin of life, are all over space,' Allamandola says. 'This discovery implies that life could be everywhere in the universe.'

The diagrams below show trihedrals, polyhedra with triangular sides. For astronomy, V is the position of the observer, and PQR are points on a sphere centred at V, the celestial sphere." 8-05 Women of NASA (NASA Quest) 1-01 Projects Astronomy Games (ToonUniversity.com) Provides games for kids to learn more about planets and the sun.
