General Public

Windows to the Universe is a user-friendly learning system for the general public. The objective is to develop an innovative and engaging World Wide Web site that presents current information about the Earth and space sciences. To achieve this goal, Windows to the Universe is building a site that includes a rich array of documents, images, movies, animations, and data sets that explore scientific knowledge about our solar system, the universe, and the physical sciences. It also highlights the historical and cultural ties between science, exploration, and the human experience.

The Web site is accessible from any platform and Web browser, but is designed for Netscape 3.0. To run the site using a supplementary CD-ROM, we require:

Windows 95, 16MB RAM (A monitor resolution of 1024x768 at 256 colors is suggested.) Windows 3.1x is not supported. Macintosh, Power PC 6100 minimum. Higher resolution screens are suggested, but not required. Supplementary CD-ROMs are not available for UNIX platforms.
