We are proud to announce the Operational release of "Reverb", the next generation metadata and service discovery tool. Reverb has been developed utilizing modern web development technologies and presents you with a fresh new look and interface for discovering Earth Science data. We invite you to give it a try and let us know what you think. Reverb will be continually updated on a monthly basis taking into account your user feedback and other enhancements which are currently planned. Your feedback will be critical in us ensuring that you are able to find and access the data you need in the best way possible.

What are the astronauts tweeting? Want to ask them a question? Even if they're on a mission???

NASA's JPL developed this fun interactive site where "you can try your hand at making your own planet."

"Are you ready to solve the challenges of space?

Join the RealWorld-InWorld NASA Engineering Design Challenge!

This is a unique education initiative that targets students in grades 9-12 and encourages them to explore and build skills essential for successful careers in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) through two phases of project-based learning and team competition"

Moonbase Alpha is a new online game developed by NASA to be played on the Steam online gaming platform. Moonbase Alpha a simulation/ role playing game in which players assume the role of an astronaut working to repair equipment in order to restore oxygen delivery to a settlement on the moon. The game can be played by up to six players at a time who communicate using voice over communication.

The Cognition
Laboratory is a part of the Human-Automation Integration Research Branch at NASA
Ames Research Center. We conduct research which involves modeling the human
operator in human-machine systems and experiments on normal human perceptual and
cognitive processes. Current modeling efforts focus on the task of the human
operator in Air Traffic Control. Experiments range from basic to applied. All
experiments are administered via computer, with participants watching the
monitor and answering by using the keyboard or mouse. Examples of experiments
include attentional control, dual-tasking, and the detection of conflicts in an
Air Traffic Control display.

Looks like some interesting activities within this site.

e-Missions™ are simulated, problem-based, learning adventures delivered right into the classroom via distance learning technology. With the use of the internet and video conferencing equipment, these "live" scenarios are conducted in your classroom by a Flight Director at Mission Control from the Challenger Learning Center at Wheeling Jesuit University.

Are your science teachers following this mission? Follow more here: http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/kepler/main/index.html You can even follow Kepler on Twitter! There's an RSS feed, as well. What a great way of showing science in action.
