Miscellaneous Sites of Interest 

Guide to Backyard Astronomy - This useful page has links to dozens of the best astronomy-related sites on the internet. (Thanks James!)

Daily predictions for brighter satellites - Satellites are visible just about every night, and this site tells you when and where to look, what satellites you'll be seeing, and how bright they will be. You can easily see the Hubble Space Telescope, the International Space Station, and many more, with the naked eye every night.

Space Probe Images of the Solar System - Some of the most stunningly beautiful images taken by space probes over the last 40 years, all of them real.

Tour the International Space Station - Astronauts take you on a detailed tour of the entire station, floating from one end to the other.

PhET Earth Science Interactive Simulations - If you want to gain an understanding of fascinating concepts, and have fun doing it, these great interactive simulations are for you! Once you check out any of the concepts you're interested in, you'll be hooked. At least 20 simulations to choose from on all sorts of topics.

Periodic Table of Videos - Cool videos about every element, with lots of demos of chemical reactions.

Double Slit Experiment Explained - So, you thought you had a firm grasp on reality? Electrons, photons, and atoms change their behaviour because you have knowledge about them. Huh?

Double Slit Experiment with Delayed Quantum Choice Eraser - Oh no, it's even weirder than you thought. By not recording data, we can change what happened in the past. Wait, what?

Your Blind Spots - Each of your eyes has a blind spot near the middle of your vision. Why don't you see it? Because your brain continuously makes stuff up to fill the blank. See for yourself!

Human Benchmarks - Test your reaction time and memory, and see how you compare to everyone else who has taken the tests.

Color Vision Test - Test to see how well you see colors.

Hearing Test - Test your ears frequency response. Can you hear sounds adults can't?

The Molecular Shape of You - I really like this song, way more than the original. Yes, it's nerdy, but this guy's amazingly talented. 

Evo-Devo - I think I like this song even more.
