The Astronomy Center has provided educational resources to introductory astronomy educators since 2003. Over the past 20 years, the rapid pace of discovery has rendered some of our linked resources obsolete. Thus, the Astronomy Center will be decommissioned on March 1, 2022. Our highest quality resources will be retained on ComPADRE.org.
The Earth and Moon Viewer allows users to view a map of the earth showing the day and night regions at this moment, or view the Earth or the Moon from various vantage points, including lunar perigee and apogee.
This resource was featured by the Physics To Go collection from November 16, 2006 until December 1, 2006.
