NASA's JPL brings together an array of rich visualization tools for a 3D exploration of our cosmic neighborhood. It provides actual data from spacecraft, including their real-time position in space. Users can zoom-in/zoom-out, change lighting modes, adjust camera angles, and replay events at real rate or in accelerated time. Advanced tools include size comparison, measuring tool, and "ride-on-board" during flybys. Choose from a wide range of destinations -- including the historic 1960's space exploration, Curiosity Rover landing on Mars, Voyager mission to the Gas Giants, the Cassini mission to the outer planets, and much more.
Editor's Note: For best viewing results, NASA recommends downloading the free Unity 3D converter software. NASA's visualization software is operational for multiple operating systems, but may not perform optimally in all web browsers. Please note that this resource requires Flash, or Java3D.

Topic: Astronomy
Unit Title: Astronomy Resources For the High School Classroom Here you'll find a rich array of visualization tools for a 3D exploration of our cosmic neighborhood. The website uses actual data and images generated from past and present space missions. Students can zoom, change lighting, "ride-on-board", do scale comparisons, and replay events in real or accelerated time. Adaptable for a range of grade bands and ability levels. Link to Unit:
