This series of curriculum support materials and classroom activities explores how our understanding of the nature of the Universe has changed during the past 100 years. Students examine the process of science through the stories of the people and the discoveries that caused our understanding to evolve from a static universe to a Universe whose expansion is accelerating. The series illustrates the ... Full description.

This Web site contains information for both partners (those with their own telescopes) and associates (those who wish to use a network telescope.) The purpose of the Global Telescope Network (GTN) is to use small telescopes to obtain ground-based observations of high-energy objects of interest to Swift, GLAST (renamed Fermi in 2008) and XMM-Newton missions. It is used both by formal educators working ... Full description.

This model airplane is designed to resemble the Swift bird, which conveys information about NASA?s Swift gamma-ray burst Explorer mission. Full description.

This poster outlines the major mission highlights of the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) mission, a Small Explorer Earth-orbiting spacecraft that is designed to map the distant boundary between the solar wind from our Sun and the interstellar medium. The poster aims to answer the following questions: ? What is IBEX and what is it exploring? ? How does IBEX explore the boundary of our Solar System? ... Full description.

Mysteries of the Sun is a unique NASA resource on the web, in print, and with companion videos, introducing Heliophysics - the study of the Sun's influence throughout the solar system and, in particular, its connection to the Earth and Earth's extended space environment. Topics include space weather, solar variability, the heliosphere, Earth's magnetosphere, and the Earth's upper atmosphere. Full description.
