“Man makes a great fuss about this planet which is only a ballbearing in the hub of the universe” Christopher Morley

I am always looking for good websites that gives a better understanding of anything we use or are a part of. The site virtual science center is one of those that really puts information into perspective when it comes to the Earth. The site runs though a series of questions answering big concepts like how big are the oceans and what is the planet made up of. Through visual trips around the spiral galaxy known as the Milky Way we gain more understanding of our place with in the cosmos. The site uses flash to really show off the info with sound, animation and just great visuals. This site could easily be enjoyed by young and old. If you are of a science mind then give this one a try.
