One of the most exciting resources for astronomy is the internet. The internet is full
of websites with new images, discoveries, and the latest astronomical information.
For example, when comet Hale-Bopp made its approach to our Sun in 1998,
astronomers around the world posted new photos daily.
You can find websites for almost any topic relating to astronomy on the internet. Try
the following key word searches: NASA, Hubble, HST, astronomy, Messier, satellite,
nebula, black hole, variable stars, etc.
Check out Meade's website for the latest product and technical information. You can
download the latest software revisions, links to other astronomical sites, coordinates
of celestial objects and the latest satellite tracking information for your Autostar
