Infrared light shows us the heat radiated by the world around us. By viewing animals with a thermal infrared camera, we can actually "see" the differences between warm and cold-blooded animals. Infrared also allows us to study how well feathers, fur and blubber insulate animals. As you tour this "Infrared Zoo", see what new information you can gather about the animals here that you would not get from a visible light picture. If you would like to learn more about infrared light and the infrared universe visit Cool Cosmos. Enjoy your tour! NEW: Infrared Zoo Lesson Plans Learn More About Warm and Cold Blooded Animals!

Readable is an application that helps you read more of the web. "Users with any browser can head to the bookmarklet's setup page, choose a few reading options, then drag a "Readable" link onto their bookmarks/links toolbar. The major difference with Readability, other than the voluminous font, size, and layout options, is that a readable text scroll appears as an overlay that greys out the rest of the page. It can auto-grab the main reading text off a page, or you can select the text you want to read and hit the bookmarklet."
