In 1969, NASA put a man on the Moon. In 1997, NASA's Pathfinder mission touched down on Mars.
Today, NASA's Observatorium web site is a fixture in cyberspace, offering visitors a fascinating Internet window to the best of NASA's Earth and space knowledge.
NASA's Observatorium combines years of NASA exploration and discovery with the latest web technology, giving visitors a site that's literally out of this world.
All your NASA favorites are here. Mars information. Earth and space photos. The space shuttle. The Hubble Space Telescope. Planets. Comets. Black holes. Eclipses...a body of knowledge as vast and varied as the universe itself.
From the continually updated "Observation of the Week" to in-depth articles on NASA projects, both acclaimed and inconspicuous, NASA's Observatorium showcases the agency that personifies American spirit and ingenuity.
