Students and teachers at the Pinellas County Science Center in St. Petersburg, Fla., will have an out-of-this-world phone conversation with NASA astronauts aboard the International Space Station.
To see what life might be like on a distant planet, reporters need only travel to the Arizona desert.
Metaplanets
Metaplanets features streaming 3D interactive models of the planets of the solar system, along with planetary facts, links to more resources on the planets, and news feeds from NASA.
Planetary models utilize the Viewpoint plugin, and you should be able to enjoy them if your system meets the system requirementes (sorry, but the current release DOES NOT work with FireFox 3.x yet).
