	Planetary guide- Shows where the planets are and moon phases. CAUTION: The sky maps on the site use the time for Indianapolis, Indiana (where I live). From now until fall, we are on the same time as Chicago. You should be able to see the events mentioned here at approximately the same time in your area.
	The Nine Planets -At this site, you can take a tour of the solar system, stopping to read about each of the planets as well as experience some of the sights and sounds related to each planet.
	JPL's Profiles on Planets- The Jet Propulsion Laboratory works closely with NASA in exploring the solar system and provides a great deal of information about its research on the Internet.

In microgravity, most routine activities, such as preparing a meal or bathing, are no longer easy chores and require the use of special equipment and techniques. This website was built to demonstrate how astronauts accomplish the daily routines on board and conduct the work that needs to be completed during their mission.

Astronauts
The term "astronaut" derives from the Greek words meaning "space sailor," and refers to all who have been launched as crew members aboard NASA spacecraft bound for orbit and beyond. Since the beginnings of NASA we have also maintained the term "astronaut" as the title for those selected to join the corps of NASA astronauts, who make "space sailing" their profession.

Welcome to the astronaut biographies home page, providing biographical information regarding those who participate or have participated in NASA’s space flight programs as candidates for, or members of, space flight crews.
