The Jet Propulsion Laboratory has a Solar System Simulator that gives you the option to see anything in the Solar System. So, if you want to see Pluto from the sun, you can do it.

With Solar System Live, you can view the entire solar system or, if you want, just the planets. You can set time and date to see where everything is located. You can also change your observing location, track an asteroid, or see where comets are traveling.

Once you sign up for the site and pick one of its membership packages -- $14.95 for 100 minutes on a telescope or $49.95 for an unlimited amount of time for one year -- you'll have the option to explore space. You'll take hold of a telescope, zoom in on, well, anything you see, and Otto, the site's mascot will tell you what you're looking at. You can also take pictures of whatever you've seen.

Non-Messier Objects Indexes is exactly that. Non-Messier objects are those astronomical "objects" that were not originally included in French astronomer Charles Messier's Catalog of Nebulae and Star Clusters. The site is an index of star clusters, galaxies, and nebulae thousands of light years away. You'll find pictures of the objects, descriptions, and all kinds of scientific data. The Non-Messier Objects Indexes is definitely for the space expert.

Amazing Space is a fantastic resource for anyone who wants to learn something about space. If you want basic information on topics such as gravity and black holes, the site offers it. If you want to gain some knowledge about Earth and how it was formed, you can learn that too. It's not as in-depth as some sites in this roundup, but it's not meant to be. Amazing Space is for the beginner.
