http://amazing-space.stsci.edu/resources/explorations/index.shtml

Online explorations are fun and this site opens for you an interactive way to explore galaxies, black holes, comets and other fascinating objects. It also provides a section on some of the commonly-held beliefs (read myths) about comets and then attempts to dispel them. Students will find this website particularly useful, because there is “Homework help” available. In fact, both educators and students will learn a lot from this website. Some interactive pieces require you to have the free Flash player installed.
