Today I would like to introduce a partner site of previously mentioned "Phil Plait's Bad Astronomy", a great collection of news, retrospectives, astronomy facts - plainly everything that is interesting in the field of astronomy.

The size of this site is overwhelming, the articles are multiple and extensive, filled with interesting facts and actually very easy to read even if you don't have a degree in astrophysics or astronomy. All topics are covered, starting with the Moon, the Sun, the Solar System, our own Galaxy and even beyond. I started to read there just a couple of days ago, however I'm quite sure, that I will have a plenty of great time reading through them, especially when it is updated so often (several articles a day). Many wonders of the Universe await you there, so I recommend to go there right away.

The name of the site is Universe Today - quite a fitting name for such a great, up-to-date, fun and extensive place in the internet. And if you are an amateur astronomer or plainly have a mania of looking at the night sky for all those stars, nebulae, galaxies and other superb features (like me), there's a treat for you - a free downloadable PDF guide to the sky, called "What's up 2006". Plenty of facts about the development of astronomy, most noticable figures in its history, a load of objects to look at in the night with detailed descriptions - it is really a mistake not to spend several minutes downloading this incredible PDF.

You will need Adobe Reader to access the contents of "What's up 2006" PDF. The Rocket Logo is an intelectual property of "Universe Today".
