    This site is an extensive astronomy resource.  It uses the Hubble Space Telescope's discoveries to inspire and educate about the wonders of the universe.  The Teaching tools index is a convenient doorway to all the teaching materials at Amazing Space. Educators get a special "overview" with every resource that suggests ways to use it in the classroom and provides links to related materials.  Recommended astronomy resource

"They're helping us learn how galaxies form and evolve. And they take their work seriously." But that doesn't prevent them from bringing a sense of adventure and just sheer fun to the research.
