Well you could always look at the space.com or nasa.gov site, but you probably know these. I did some research at the observatory last week on good astronomy sites, here are a few of the best ones:
www.jpl.nasa.gov
www.astronomy.com
http://www.okcastroclub.com/ this in the oklahoma astronomy club

if you want to have a look at our astronomy society:

P.S. have you seen all the starwars films? do u prefer the origional ones or the new film (ep1)?

themuMmy · 1st December 2001, 07:13 AM

ya thats like out system.ya i looked at the sites,thanks. and as for star wars,i have seen all of them and i have seen the star wars trailers for star wars:attack of the clones.it looks cool,it looks better then episode 1,the only thing that i thought looked wierd is they were running into battle with different color lightsabors,so it looked like a little rainbow.kinda funny,but it has jabba the hut(not that slimmy guy but his helper,the guy with the mask who shoots lazers) he is in there and it just looks better even though it is part romance. i didn't like the episode 1 that well,i liked the original better.what about you?

nicscifi · 1st December 2001, 11:16 PM

i vermuch agree with you there, the origional are usually the best. the first time i saw ep1, it was pretty good, the second time around wich was at home, i got a bit bord..

themuMmy · 2nd December 2001, 12:28 AM
