"Want to observe the Friday 10 May 2013 Solar Eclipse safely but don't have access to a specialist solar filter for your telescope or binoculars? I have prepared a solar eclipse pinhole viewer which you can freely download and use to indirectly observe the eclipse.  I have included on the viewer information on start, mid and end times for the eclipse for the following cities: Adelaide, Brisbane, Sydney, Cairns, Perth, Melbourne, Canberra, Hobart, Darwin and Townsville."

"A useful little web tool which simulates a solar system allowing users to build their own."

"Fascinating video which shows the solar system to scale measure out across the landscape, demonstrating the vastness of our planetary neighbourhood."

"NASA's Spacecraft 3D is an augmented reality (AR) application that lets you learn about and interact with a variety of spacecraft that are used to explore our solar system, study Earth, and observe the universe. Using a printed AR Target and the camera on your mobile device, you can get up close with these robotic explorers, see how they move, and learn about the engineering feats used to expand our knowledge and understanding of space. Spacecraft 3D will be updated over time to include more of the amazing spacecraft that act as our robotic eyes on the earth, the solar system and beyond! "

DIY Sun Science is a free iPad app from The Lawrence Hall of Science. The app features directions for hands-on lessons about the sun. The lessons are a mix of activities that students can do on their own and activities that they should do with adult supervision. All of the activities use common household goods. Some of the activities that you will find in DIY Sun Science are measuring the sun, making UV detectors, detecting solar storms, and cooking with a solar oven.

A class resource/poster with a collection of facts about Solar eclipses and how to stay safe when observing one.

"See three-dimensional planet models along the way as you shuttle from Pluto at the furthest reaches of the Solar System to the Sun, which is represented by the 37-metre Anglo-Australian Telescope dome at Siding Spring Observatory.  The planets are displayed on huge billboards with the size of the planets and the distance between each billboard scaled relative to the dome - the Sun - along the five main roads that lead to Coonabarabran in regional NSW."

"ASTRONOMERS have discovered what may be five planets orbiting Tau Ceti, the closest single star beyond our solar system, the temperature and luminosity of which nearly match the sun's. If they are planets, one is about the right distance from the star to feature mild temperatures, oceans of water, and even life. Don't pack your bags just yet, though: the discovery still needs to be confirmed."

"Get ready for the spectacular sight of an annular or partial solar eclipse over Australia this Friday morning. Ian Musgrave shares his tips on what you'll see where you live, and how to see it safely."

"With its rover named Curiosity, Mars Science Laboratory mission is part of NASA's Mars Exploration Program, a long-term effort of robotic exploration of the red planet. Curiosity was designed to assess whether Mars ever had an environment able to support small life forms called microbes. In other words, its mission is to determine the planet's "habitability." "

"Canberra Deep Space Communication Complex. Each day the antennas are directed to receive or transmit data to any number of robotic spacecraft exploring our Solar System and beyond - yesterday it was the Mars Curiosity Landing. Thanks to DSS-45 (34-metre) DSS-34 (34-metre) DSS-43 (70-metre). 1080p coming :-)"

"Earlier this year, NASA spacecraft Voyager 1 left our solar system after a 35-year journey, carrying with it a golden record containing sounds, images and music from Earth. Its sister craft, Voyager 2, carries an identical record. The records were designed to encapsulate the aural heritage of Earth in 90 minutes - but some preliminary investigation, however, reveals that there a few inaccuracies in the official NASA documentation about the golden records."

California's Tech Museum of Innovation: engineering-design lab lesson plans, uses available materials and explores electromagnetism, solar energy, force and motion, chemical properties, engineering and earthquakes, genetics. Mostly targeted at middle school levels.
