 [|Encyclopedia of Life] The Encyclopedia of Life (EOL) is an ambitious to organize and make available via the Internet virtually all information about life present on Earth. At its heart lies a series of Web sites—one for each of the approximately 1.8 million known species—that provide the entry points to this vast array of knowledge. Very cool!

Hubble Telescope Site

[|Google Body] -- this is so cool! It's 3-D, layered, interactive, high resolution experience allows users to zoom, pan, rotate, the human body, and to visualize its organs, systems, bones, and muscles. And its searchable! You may have to upgrade your browser window to really use this tool. (The program requires WebGL is enabled by default in //[|Chrome 9 Beta], [|Chrome 9 Dev Channel], [|Chrome Canary Build] and [|Firefox 4 beta]//.)

Google Mars -- View some of the most detailed maps of Mars created by NASA scientists. Explore the Red Planet's surface, keep track of orbiters and see the 'face' in the planet's surface.

Google Earth Engine -- -- brings together the world's satellite imagery—trillions of scientific measurements dating back more than 25 years—and makes it available online.

 [|Monterey Bay Aquarium] The aquarium project was initiated in 1977 by a group of four marine biologists at Stanford's Hopkins Marine Station in Pacific Grove, and it opened October 20, 1984. Great resource!
