Science Institute - These are links to information of general
interest regarding the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and the Space
Telescope Science Institute (ST ScI). This includes information or
interest to educators, students, the media and the general public;
pictures resulting from observations by HST instruments.
THE SCIENCE EDUCATION GATE-WAY! - Learning adventures in Earth and Space science from a NASA-sponsored partnership of museums, researchers and educators. SEG-way is the public user interface of the Science Information Infrastructure (SII), funded by NASA's Information Infrastructure Technology and Applications (IITA), a component of the Federal High Performance Computing and Communications program (HPCC).

The Interactive NGC Catalog Online - This is the interactive NGC (and IC, and Messier) catalog at SEDS (Students for the Exploration & Development of Space). It contains open and globular star clusters, diffuse and planetary nebulae, supernova remnants, galaxies of all types.
Multiwavelength Atlas of Galaxies - Education and Outreach - This atlas of spiral and elliptical galaxies contains images that span the optical, X-ray, Radio and Infrared regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. These images of galaxies provide important information about the stars, cold, warm and hot gas, dust and charged particles that exist in each galaxy. If you are interested in background information about types of galaxies, or the origin of the radiation, links will give you this information at a high school or undergraduate level. Another link will lead you to web sites of the telescopes that took these images.
