- Sites that students like
the best:
- Stephen
Hawking's Universes
- "For thousands of years, people
have wondered about the universe,"
- begins Dr. Hawking in his
introduction to this section of the gorgeous
- PBS Web site which has been
created around his current television
- series. The most profound
questions and theories arrive at a student's
- desktop, in striking color and
awesome photographs. The graphics are
- technically very sophisticated,
using the latest digital innovations to
- introduce fundamental ideas and
to put them not beyond the grasp of
- younger science students. This
is a wonder-full Web site!

a surface that may include continents the size
of Australia and oceans of
gasoline-like liquids. Amateur
astronomers can see Titan this week
through a small telescopejust after sunset.
