Site of the Day for Friday, September 21, 2001
The Sky
Sometimes the List stumbles upon a website which leaves it gasping in
admiration. One such site is "The Sky", part of the larger and thoroughly
splendid website, "Sea and Sky". Created by a web designer with a hobbist's
passion for his subject, J.D. Knight has fashioned a rich and informative
website which provides a lavish exploration of the heavens. Listen to the
sound of a pulsar and learn why they provide more accurate time-keeping
than an atomic clock. Examine the properties of quasars or "quasi-stellar
radio source". Discover the different configurations of galaxies. Explore,
explore.
"Sea and Sky [is] a non-commercial, non-profit Web site dedicated to
sharing the splendors of our fragile oceans and the wonders of the universe
with all members of the world Internet community." - from the website
If there are older children in your household, this website can provide a
wonderful reference source and is eminently deserving a bookmark to your
favorites list.
If you are in need of a respite from "the surly bonds of earth", soar over
to "The Sky".
