On Page 6, will you find the MISSING LINK?
Page 7 Try some scientific mind ticklers, riddles, puzzles and games from the world of science at The Exploratorium. Or view volcanoes of the world or Hawaiian volcanoes. You might like color photos of the 9 planets of the solar system along with pictures of their moons. Or explore the fossil sites of the world and see more information about outer space and astronomy. And on page 7 there is a complete reference library as thorough as that in any big city or large university library system.
Page 8 The National Geographic Map Machine is at your service as well as links to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) for the development of Web technology. You'll also find World Population Clocks and the complex world of the FBI, their 10 Most Wanted List and other aspects of criminology. There's an in-depth site for heath and medicine to answer a multitude of questions about the human body.

Then return to Earth where you may explore the website further, join the Planetary Society, go to the reference library, view the photo gallery, read space news and find more fun and informative activities. Powers of Ten Powers of 10 is and excellent illustration of exponential increments. View the Milky Way at 10 million light years from the Earth. Then move through space toward the Earth in successive orders of magnitude until you reach a tall oak tree just outside the buildings of the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Tallahassee, Florida. After that, begin to move from the actual size of a leaf into a microscopic world that reveals leaf cell walls, the cell nucleus, chromatin, DNA and finally, into the subatomic universe of electrons and protons. It's from "Molecular Expressions" at the "Science, Optics and You" website where you'll also find interactive Java tutorials, student activities, teacher resources as well as movie and photo galleries and much more! The Encyclopedia Astronautica The Enclyclopedia Astronautica is a tour de force of information regarding space explortion, satellites, rockets, orbital LVs, missles, stages, engines and their propellants, launch sites, families of spacecraft, space missions, manned flights, tragedies and near-tragedies in space exploration, people involved in astronautics, records and statistics, a chronology of space flight and current events in astronautics as well as many more topics pertaining to astronautics. Click Here to view the NASA realtime 3-D satellite tracker. See the positions of all satellites currently in orbit and have their positions updated every minute or every 10 seconds, 5 seconds, second or split second, whichever you prefer. You may select the satellite positions of individual orbiters from the list and have their latitudes, longitudes, altitudes, velocities and trajectories displayed on the 3-D maps. As well as having orbit paths shown you may also have the ground traces displayed. The satellites you select will be shown in different colors from the rest of the satellites to help you distinguish them. You may zoom in or zoom out depending on your interests.

Northwestern Hawaiian Islands

The Leeward Islands or Northwestern Islands of Hawaii, consist of 130 islands, islets and shoals that stretch 1,200 miles northwest from Kauai ending with Kure Atoll about 55 miles west of Midway Atoll - site of the historic World War II naval battle between the American and the Japanese navies. The population of the Northwestern Islands varies between 100 and 250 depending on the number of scientific expeditions and explorations underway at any given time. There are no truly permanent inhabitants of any of the islands, as most are scientists of various kinds experimenting and gathering information, particularly regarding ecological, marine and biological studies. Usually there are 40 to 100 semi-permanent residents at Midway. On this page you will find maps and photos of each of the groups of islands, islets and shoals as well as photos of coral, birds, fish, turtles, sharks, seals and other sea life. Twenty-five percent (25%) of the wildlife in this portion of the Hawaiian archipelago are unique and can be found nowhere else on earth. Seventy percent of the Coral in the United States lies in Northwestern Hawaii. The Leeward Hawaiian Islands comprise the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument formerly called the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands Marine National Monument, the largest marine preserve in the world.
