"the night sky and the Ocean. Taking series of images and combining them into a time lapse video sequence made it even more interesting. I have since experimented with all-night time lapses, panning motion, etc."

recognize the importance of the ocean within our interconnected Earth systems. Developed by the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History and more than 20 collaborating organizations, Ocean Portal is a unique, interactive online experience that inspires awareness, understanding, and stewardship of the world's oceans.

"Exploriments are simulation-based interactive learning units for enhancing conceptual understanding in Science and Math in an experiential manner. Useful for students and teachers alike, Exploriments provide a highly interactive, exploratory, and engaging experience."

"The relativistic motion of clocks on board GPS satellites exactly accounts for the superluminal effect in the OPERA experiment, says physicist Ronald van Elburg at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands, The Physics arXiv Blog reports."

""The Fabric of the Cosmos," a four-hour series based on the book by renowned physicist and author Brian Greene, takes us to the frontiers of physics to see how scientists are piecing together the most complete picture yet of space, time, and the universe. With each step, audiences will discover that just beneath the surface of our everyday experience "

"STEMNET (the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Network) creates opportunities to inspire young people in STEM.
