NASA has announced that they are looking for volunteers to be a part of The Solar System Ambassador Program
The astronomer John Walker has placed the easy-to-use astronomy program that he developed for The Smithsonian Institute into public domain. If you're a space buff, and enjoy following the events in our cosmos, then you might want to give this program a try. It's called Home Planet. John Walker has also developed several astronomy related screen savers: � The Sky Screen Saver � The Earth Screen Saver � The Moon Craters Screen Saver � And a program to follow events in our solar system in real time called Solar System Live
