Mensa Astronomy SIG Astro-links and somewhat related stuff

The most entertaining link I have found at this point is SpaceZone, which includes live internet feeds from NASA Select TV. It looks pretty awesome and it's very colorful!

The first list is from a friend of mine, Fred Helenius, who has his own site, but who will be moving very soon. Once he is safely established in his own location, this first section will be replaced by a link to his new permanent site. He's very interested in meteorite impacts, as you'll see from the links selection. The second, long, tersely-commented list is mine. SkyView is the best research resource (you need RA and dec), and STScI (Space Telescope public images) is a fast and excellent source of pretty pictures. //hlp

Fred's Astronomy Links

The first place to look: the sci.astro FAQ. Unfortunately, sci.astro itself is clogged with crackpots.
