My Favorite Astronomy Websites

Astronomy Picture of the Day -- A great website!  A new picture every day, and an explanation by an astronomer of what it is.  There is an archive of several thousand pictures, and a search function that can find great pictures of almost anything. 

Bad Astronomy -- Another good website.  This one has links for debunking some astronomy myths -- like Fox News' fake moon landing -- and also to current events. 

Astronomy Blog -- Current events, from planets and comets visible now to the space program.

Skymania News -- Current topics in Astronomy, and lots of interesting links. 

Cosmic Log -- This is MSNBC's Astronomy website.  It has up-to-date articles, and archives from months and years past.  You can really stay current by checking this website once in a while.

Jet Propulsion Lab -- This is NASA's control center for planetary probes and satellites.

The Sun and The Moon (live)-- See what they look like right now.  Is there a sunspot?  What phase is the moon?
