SOHO
A lovely site to catch a glimpse of the star of Science Highway Episode 6 - "The Dark Side Of The Sun". We're currently at the peak of the sun's eleven-year cycle, which means lots of really big flares, auroras, and other attention-getting behavior. Best to keep an eye on it here. Hey, it's your sun.

Bad Science! Evil Science! Odd Science! Good experiments gone bad, Bad experiments perfected. Construct your own monsters, A-bombs and other Addams Family-ish science fair fun. (For entertainment purposes only.)
