Behavior of stars, generation of energy, their origin, and life cycle. Also includes a wide range of interesting pictures of galaxies and related phenomena that can be observed in the universe through telescopes. www.telescope.org/btl/sg.html
Provides detailed information about stars: positions, proper motion, radial velocity, magnitudes, spectral class, color index, catalogue references, data about multiple star systems (i.e. orbital elements), and data about variability (min./max. brightness www.alcyone.de/SIT/SIT_en.htm
Nice index of some interesting star photographs. Note: All files are downloaded via an FTP program which appears in a new window. garbo.uwasa.fi/pc/gifstar.html
The primary purpose of this website is to distribute information related to the positions and motions of the stars and planets, mainly to the Defense community. ad.usno.navy.mil
Lists the 50 brightest stars visible from Earth, and the 50 closest stars to Earth. Proper names, distances, magnitudes, spectral classification and other data are provided for each star. www.cosmobrain.com
Find data (cross references, positions, proper motions, spectral classes, magnitudes ...) on all stars visible to the naked eye from the BSC, SKY2000, SAO, WDS and GCVS. Stars can be searched by their proper names, Bayer designations, Flamsteed, HR, HD, S www.alcyone.de/SIT/bsc
Multimedia experience of flying by spaceship through the solar system. Visit each planet. Real space pictures from NASA. In English, French, Italian, Spanish and Russian. Recommended for kids. www.spacewander.com
Discussion will focus on the nonlinear interactions between turbulent convection, rotation and magnetic fields in the interiors of stars. From 6 September - 17 December, 2004 at the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences, Cambridge, UK. Inclu www.newton.cam.ac.uk/programmes/MSI
