Welcome

Space has always fascinated me so I have put this site together to share some of the interesting things I have found out about space. In this site you will find information on both the American and Russian Shuttles, our Solar System, and the observatories, both in space and on the ground, that we use to learn about it. I have also provided a list of books and links to sites related to space that I have found useful.

Seeing as how even my degree was space related, I have to give a plug to my old university! So here it is: the University of Manchester Department of Physics and Astronomy and the Jodrell Bank Observatory. It has been announced that the University of Manchester and UMIST will be merging in the autumn of 2004.
