Fascinating Finds...

Daily Solar Images
The Pima College - East Campus
observatory is offering a new, free service for
the teachers of Arizona and beyond. Using
our Calcium and Hydrogen Alpha solar
telescopes (donated by Coronado Filters),
live, daily images will be available online.
Also requests to move the telescope to areas
of interest on the sun can be made by calling
the observatory at 520-206-7610 during the
live transmissions. The Calcium telescope
images areas of magnetic activity which may
give rise to sunspots and the Hydrogen
Alpha telescope images activity in the
chromosphere such as prominences.

Microscope Imaging Station - Exploratorium
"Since their appearance in the 17th century,
images from microscopes have fascinated
and informed. Microscopes, as tools of
scientific discovery, revolutionized our view of
nature. Since that time, imaging capabilities
have evolved, allowing us to capture dazzling
imagery of the microscopic world."

The idea is simple. It’s a globe that sits
inside your PC. You point and zoom to any
place on the planet that you want to explore.
Satellite images and local facts zoom into
view. Tap into Google search to show local
