The Museum of the History of Science houses an unrivalled collection of historic scientific instruments in the world's oldest surviving purpose-built museum building, the Old Ashmolean on Broad Street, Oxford. By virtue of the collection and the building, the Museum occupies a special position, both in the study of the history of science and in the development of western culture and collecting.

The SETI Institute was incorporated as a 501 (c) (3) non-profit California corporation on November 20, 1984. The purpose of the Institute, as defined at that time and still true today, is to conduct scientific research and educational projects relevant to the origin, nature, prevalence, and distribution of life in the universe. This work includes two primary research areas: 1) SETI, and 2) Life in the Universe. Concurrent with its research focus, the Institute strives to contribute to both formal and informal science education related to these fields of interest. Over its eighteen year history, the Institute has administered over $150 million of funded research.

"Sundials on the Internet" is the leading world internet site for information about all aspects of sundials, including projects you can do, books you can get, national societies you can join, pictures you can see, sundials you can commission or buy and sundial trails all over the world + our competition for new ones!

Named in honor of Neil Armstrong, first man to set foot on the moon, this museum in Wapakoneta chronicles Ohio's contributions to the history of space flight. Among the items on display are a F5D Sky Lancer, the Gemini VIII spacecraft, Apollo 11 artifacts and a moon rock.

Protecting natural and cultural properties of outstanding
universal value against the threat of damage in a rapidly developing world

This is the home page of an overview of space research on the Earth's environment in space. The description is non-mathematical but quite detailed, and here is what it contains:

Archaeoastronomy has emerged in the last three decades as a thriving `interdiscipline', but it is one that continues to be viewed with suspicion by many mainstream archaeologists. Together with what has become known as ethnoastronomy, it strives to comprehend the nature and meaning of astronomical practice in past (as well as modern non-Western) societies. This has tended to be of particular interest to astronomers and historians of science, but for the archaeologist or anthropologist forms merely one aspect of the study of human societies in general. It is an important one, though: the movements of the heavenly bodies are of almost universal concern, even amongst small bands of hunter-gatherers. Stellar lore and astronomical practice invariably form part of a broader frameworks of understanding--cosmologies--which define and dictate the nature, place and timing of various human actions.

Humans have been fascinated by the Moon for thousands of years, explaining it both as a deity and a physical world, recognizing its monthly re-occurrences, speculating on the origins of its surface features, and ultimately visiting it. Exploring the Moon provides knowledge about the Moon and its history of exploration.
