Cool Stuff From Internet

The Internet is full of fun, factual and funny information about space and about our nation’s fascination with space. Try these on for size:

• Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, Ph.D., explains the importance of water in finding life on other planets and the impact of the discovery of Gliese 581; click here.
• Confirmation that an old wives’ tale just might be true; click here.
• More on what they found on the Moon; click here.
• A fascinating link from Aviation Week; click here.
• And, an episode of NBC’s sitcom, Community, that demonstrates how space influences education (well, sort of) and how it inspires exploration, problem-solving and teamwork; click here.

Send us your Internet clips; we’d love to see (and post) them.
