NASA
NASA is ground zero for those with their feet on the ground
and head above the clouds. Find out what the multibillion-dollar
space program is up to lately, with news, shuttle briefings,
flight-craft details, and stunning images from around
the galaxy. New to the site is a NASA for Kids section,
which jump-starts the astronauts or space fans of the
future. |

Petersons.com
Peterson's has become much more than a college guide;
it can now help users find the ideal graduate schools,
distance-learning courses, study-abroad programs, and
even summer camps. But resources for the university-bound
remain the best-developed area of the site. Students can
study for the SATs, select schools, apply for admission,
and find info about financial aid -- all online. |

Smithsonian
Institution
The Smithsonian site is so well organized that a visit
here may yield more enlightenment than a day spent trudging
the graveled walkways of the 14-museum complex in Washington,
D.C. The site has made it easier to find stuff, too, with
an A-to-Z list of subjects from aeronautics to zoology.
Kids' Castle, a fun interactive joint for kids, was erected
last year.
