The Internet is a science lover's petting zoo. There are thousands of places where inquiring minds can be satisfied with up to the minute information. One a page is posted, it is available to everyone on the web at once.
Immediacy is the web's strong suit.
Anyone attached to the web could watch the recent landing on Mars on his computer. Better than television coverage, you can see photos as they become available to NASA, interact with the Mars Sojourner, engage in a chat with mission officials and discuss the pictures with other viewers. This page has the latest news, trajectory correction maneuvers, playback of actual current data, movie simulator of the Pathfinder entry descent, live pictures of the Mars Room, launch history and landing site information. The daily Astronomy Picture of the Day is a picture from NASA from one of the world's great telescopes. Every day there is an amazing picture and an explanation of what you are seeing.
