| When I was a boy I loved to read stories about the great explorers. I was enthralled with the idea of going to far off places and seeing sites never seen by the white man before. I imagined myself on archeological expeditions to the jungles of Africa, MesoAmerica, India, or southeast Asia. I scaled the highest mountains in search of lost Tibetan or Incan cities. I braved the harsh desert heat and fierce sandstorms to find the next Babylon. Sometimes I was an arctic explorer, a new Amundsen or Byrd. Other times I joined Cousteau at the bottom of the sea. I flew new air routes with Lindberg and blasted into space with Gagarin and Glenn. This site is dedicated to those brave men and women, my heroes. | ||||
| Tierra Del Fuego | Images from the tip of South America, Argentina's Land of Fire. | |||
| Large Binocular Telescope Enclosure
|
The telescope is located on Mt. Graham in southern Arizona and consists of 2 mirrors whose combined light gathering strength is equivilent to a 22 meter mirror. | |||
| Tate Satellite Live
|
The Tate is known for its large collection of British art and as the definitive gallery of contemporary modern art. It also has a camera 400 km above the Earth in a polar orbit that completes an orbit in 99 minutes and a circumnavigation of the globe in 15 orbits. | |||
| Santa Claus Live
|
I have always thought that Santa lived at the North Pole, but perhaps I am wrong. Afterall, the pole is simply a frozen spot in a frozen sea. There is no substance here except the relentless cold and the thick, crackling ice. Perhaps it makes more sense that he lives at the Arctic Circle where there is rock on which to place his foundation. This site is in Lapland, 8 km north of the city of Rovaniemi, Finland. It has three cameras. The first is Santa's Office, next the workshop, and last, the view of Santa's village. | |||
| Lovell Telescope
|
Jodrell Bank Observatory in England has a great historical importance to the development of radio telescopy in the 20th century. You can view the Lovell telescope from this site. Additionally you can see the seven meter student telescope. A link to Jodrell Bank live gives you a status of all the telescopes under the Jodrell Bank Observatory. | |||
| United Kingdom Infrared Telescope
|
On the dormant volcano Mauna Kea on the big island of Hawaii a group of some of the most sophisticated telescopes in the world look for other worlds and mysteries of the cosmos. This site shows the summit and the United Kingdom Infrared Telescope. | |||
| Old Faithful
|
Many years ago I took a trip to the National Parks of the US West. One of the things I saw was an eruption of Old Faithful, a geyser of some reknown in Yellowstone Park. The area around the geyser is an interesting mix of thermal ducts and bacteria of many colors. Watch the steaming hot water as it blows forth at more or less regular time intervals. | |||
| Yellowstone Webcams | I took a trip to the Yellowstone National Park. My wifewants to go back. This site will show you why. | |||
| NASA Cams
| A great collection of sites from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. This site updates as events change. Enjoy the people who bring you the final frontier. | |||
| SETICam
|
From the giant radio telescope at Arecibo, Puerto Rico we bring you images of the men and women who search for signs of extraterrestrial intelligence. Scanning the skies for atypical radio waves they sift through static for a cosmic rosetta. | |||
| The Solar And Heliospheric
Observatory
|
This site is truly out of this world. See the latest images of the sun from the SOHO satellite. These images are courtesy of SOHO/EIT, SOHO/LASCO consortium. SOHO is a project of international cooperation between ESA and NASA. | |||
| Geostationary Satellite Server | These shots of the Atlantic, Pacific, with zoom ins for Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico are updated hourly. Great for tracking North American weather. | |||
| Space Processing Facility | Six views of the Space Station Processing Facility at the Kennedy Space Center. | |||
| Antarctica | These are Australian Research bases on Antartica. Remember, if it's Summer down there; it's Winter in the northern hemisphere. I know that it may seem elementary but there are people who don't know...so I tell them. | |||
| Automated Astrophysical Site Observatory |
This site is a remote site at the remotest part of the planet...the South Pole. | |||
