Archaeoastronomy is a synthesis of 2 words - archaeology and astronomy. It is the study of ancient people and their observations, interpretations and achievements with regard to celestial objects and phenomena. This involves their astronomical practices, religious beliefs, science and world views. Revolving around the archaeological remains ancient people have left behind, archaeoastronomy is where archaeology and astronomy are combined together to further the study of the history of Man.

We describe the concept of Black Holes using Newton's theory of gravitation - no prior knowledge of the general theory of relativity is required. We present a simple derivation of Hawking's famous temperature formula - no prior knowledge of quantum mechanics is required either.
This enables us to calculate the temperature, luminosity and lifetime of the tiny Black Hole used in Larry Niven's award winning science fiction detective story "The Hole Man".

Our project focuses on the effects of a possibly cataclysmic collision of the earth with such potentially hazardous extraterrestrial objects as meteors, asteroids, and comets. With information on each of these foreign balls of fire, our webpage provides a description on their distinct structures and compositions, as well as an estimated likelihood of earth impact and the extent of its harm. Facts about past situations in which mass extinction, such as that of the dinosaurs, are given in hopes to provide readers with an idea of the immense consequences of a future collision and the mysterious disaster left in its aftermath. Pictures can be found throughout the site of the three near earth objects, the moment of impact, etc., while a short film depicting the effects of a local collision, just off the New York coast, is also shown. We hope to inform others of the seemingly non-existent threat of impact and the deadly yet uncontrollable disasters that result.

The Cosmic Wonders Corporation invites the user on a tour of 7 chosen wonders of the universe: galaxies, nebulae, comets, supernovae, black holes, pulsars, and quasars. Especially in the first two, attention is drawn to the beauty of the wonders and it is as if one were sight-seeing. Throughout the site, detailed information and mind-boggling figures are given to pique interest and provide a conversational knowledge of these astronomical wonders. Each wonder is divided into the sections: intro, from the CWC; fast facts; history, usually initial discovery and developing explanation over the years; in-depth explanation, the longest, most detailed portion; theories and controversy, any new speculations or long-standing scientific disagreement over the wonder; and viewing window, where the user can get nice pictures as well as information on the specific objects they represent. There is also a convenient pop-up dictionary the user can reference whenever he/she doesnt know a highlighted term, or wants further information. The information and visuals are presented in a GUI designed to look like the interior of a personal spacecraft in the interest of making learning about this stuff even more fun. The user could really get into this site and spend hours and only half of that would be download time :)

We decided to create a website about cosmology. We both find this subject very interesting. We wish to allow others to become educated about the many aspects within it. Our website serves as an educational oasis for cosmology and related topics, since there is a lack thereof. We are hoping to present this information in a creative manner as to not bore the user. We are also trying to present this information in an easy-to-understand way, since many of the topics are fairly complicated to grasp and comprehend.

Our website consists of three main parts: NASA History, the International Space Station and Moon Colonization. Our main focus is man''s colonization of space and planets. In the History chapter, we look backwards and explain what NASA has so far done for space development. In the ISS chapter, we look at the present and near future, when the ISS will be inhabited by astronauts of various nations, who make another step towards space "colonization". In the moon colonization chapter, we look at the future, when perhaps the moon will be an affluent colony of us "Earthlings". In this chapter we also look at wether it''s realistic to think about such a colony, or wether it''s pure science-fiction. An educational objective is to get students excited about space travel, and perhaps colonization. For this purpose, we have included a page with links to websites teachers can use in their classes.
