Banners

The following are various sites that I have found, and which are worthy of a banner advertisement.  In essence, I fully sanction these sites, and I fully encourage you to go visit them and see what they're all about.  They are listed alphabetically, in order to maintain an impartiality.  Also, this page was first initiated on April 22, 2004, so likely the closer to that date we are, the fewer banners there will be.  So keep checking back!

Celestia is a free real-time space simulation that lets you experience our universe in three dimensions. Unlike most planetarium software, Celestia doesn't confine you to the surface of the Earth. You can travel throughout the solar system, to any of over 100,000 stars, or even beyond the galaxy. All travel in Celestia is seamless; the exponential zoom feature lets you explore space across a huge range of scales, from galaxy clusters down to spacecraft only a few meters across. A 'point-and-goto' interface makes it simple to navigate through the universe to the object you want to visit
