From site: The animations shown here are not meant to be stand-alone devices, but rather to be supportive material for the classroom. I made them as streamlined and simple as possible so that they can be used at different levels and in different ways. Flexibility has been my goal. LearningReviews.com note: Animations include seasons, moon phases, gravity, tides, distance (in space), spectra and stellar evolution.

From site: Communicating the world of infrared astronomy to the public is the main topic of the “Cool Cosmos” portal but certainly not its only goal. In the past few years the “Cool Cosmos” team has created a wide variety of educational products that explain the infrared as well as the multi-wavelength universe. We've produced a suite of award-winning websites (coolcosmos.ipac.caltech.edu) that speak to audiences as varied as kindergarteners to amateur astronomers. We've also filmed short videos about astronomy and infrared light and created posters and brochures that have become favorites with NASA education specialists as well as classroom teachers.

From site: So you're asking, what is ASTRONOMY? Well... Here's our best definition. Astronomy is the study of SPACE and the changes that take place in and around all objects moving through space. It's more than just Earth and our Solar System. The study of astronomy covers every planet, object, and bit of energy flowing through the universe.
So where did the word cosmos come from? It's actually a Greek word that describes an orderly and interconnected universe. Astronomy is the study of that universe and as you learn more, you will discover how each part is connected to the others. But where do you start? There are moons, planets, stars, systems, and galaxies. We'll start with the big picture and a general overview of the universe. Go take a look!
