What is Windows to the Universe?
- Windows to the Universe is a user-friendly
learning system on the Earth and Space Sciences for the general
public. It uses the unique medium of the WWW to allow easy access to
numerous sources of Space information. The project is aimed at people
using publicly available platforms with high speed Internet
connections at libraries, hands-on museums and classrooms.

How do I navigate around Windows to the Universe?
- Windows to the Universe is set up so that with a
few clicks of a mouse button you can get to pages of information
related to whatever topic you might be interested in. There are
buttons, clickable images, and
highlighted text throughout Windows that will lead
you through a myriad of wonderful space-related information and
learning tools.
- The main entry point to Windows is the front
page, where one sees a number of graphical buttons as well as a view
of our Solar System. BE SURE TO SET A BOOKMARK HERE, TO HELP YOU
NAVIGATE AS WELL AS TO HELP YOU RETURN IN THE FUTURE. To begin
your journey, either click on one of
those buttons or choose an object in the Solar System image that you
want to learn about and click on it.
- My advice to you, the user, is to just go ahead and explore
around, learn a great deal, and have fun finding out about our
Universe.
If you ever find that you are somewhere you don't want
to be anymore, you can always get back to the front page by reusing the
Netscape Back button, or by hitting your WINDOWS TO THE UNIVERSE
bookmark.
- HAVE FUN!
