If you are a budding astronaut with an interest in space travel you can get access to NASA press releases, flight information and pictures from this NASA maintained Web server. News stories may be obtained as they break by finger to nasanews@space.mit.edu
New Scientist's appointments section is arguably the best place to find a science job in the UK and is still the most useful part of its Web site. However, Planet Science has now expanded to include collections of features on questions such as 'what is consciousness?' and 'what came before the big bang?' Leading pop-science author Paul Davies' article on the beginning of time stimulated excited debate amongst readers, whose letters you can read, but unfortunately not reply to, online. Davies now lives in Australia, which is explored in an eco-tour encapsulating the best and worst of Planet Science. It's really fascinating stuff but there are too few pictures.
Commonly found nestling amongst dog-eared piles of Punch and Hello magazines in waiting rooms the world over, National Geographic almost makes a trip to the dentist worthwhile. Without reading a single word, its brilliant photography inspires a spirit of romantic adventure in even the most frequent flyer. The magazine's Web site almost, but not quite, lives up to its printed cousin. Shout 'shiver me timbers' like a ham actor as you tour a Spanish galleon from the perspective of a Spanish sailor looking for lost treasure, with the RealAudio mainsail creaking in the wind. Guaranteed to keep you occupied for ages.

These pages are sort of like an extension of a Prize Program based at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology which is awarded each year to someone who has a achieved 'outstanding inventiveness'. It's a site which celebrates the accomplishments of American inventors past and present and includes an Inventor of the Week, details of hot research and development happening in labs across the US, links to information on copyrights, patents and resources for the inventor (including a patent FAQ) and all the top stuff going on at MIT. It's pretty cool in a Caractacus Potts kind of way and at the kind of level that most of us can understand.
Skulls, fossils, broken tiles and old arrowheads are the very stuff of this site. ArchNet is a superb archaeology resource for professionals and amateurs alike. It brings together links from all over the world and is fully searchable, although it's also indexed by archaeological region, academic department and subject area. Museums, journals, newsgroups and ListServ lists - they'll all explained and linked to. For theoretical research and practical examples, ArchNet cannot be bettered.
Coming out of the University of London's Birkbeck College and piloted in 95, professor types are currently recruiting for an undergraduate course in, yes, Principles of Protein Structure. Having been the first international multimedia science education course to be taught entirely via the Internet and the World Wide Web, its success looks set to grow and grow.
Predictably near-perfect transition from paper to pixel of a publication that's always accessible in its coverage of scientific matters, the New Scientist.The Web content has been adapted to reduce the number of long features, so the information comes in screen-manageable form. This also means that extensive archives can be kept without taking up too much space. Planet Science.
Judging by the lectures, publications and group activities listed, this is a rather vibrant organisation concerned with the promotion of the advancement of electrical, electronic and manufacturing science and engineering. Er...shocking!
View the Earth in space and time with this clever simulator. Maps are generated in real time so you can see the current positioning, lighting and shadows.
This is the top level of NASA's mighty presence on the Web. You can get to all its projects and databases via the virtual map of the USA, plus statements on its policies, missions and discoveries, at this site. If you lived through the first moon missions in the late 60s, some of the images are sure to bring back vivid memories of mankind's greatest step. Check out the Kennedy Space Center for the latest on the shuttle or go to the headquarters in DC to find out its employees' foreign travel allowance loadings for an insight into both ends of the space glamour spectrum.
