Some interesting and relevant websites for
your further exploration
-
Note that some of the links
may be broken – let me know if they are and I shall try to
replace them.
For
other geophysical maps of Mars (gravity, magnetics, thermal
inertia,) and some interesting images of the planet, visit the
“Global
Views of Mars” page
of the Mars Exploration Program site. From this page, you can
link to much other interesting information about Mars.
Suggestions
for preparing for the final exam:
(The
final exam is not yet scheduled).
Do
the online review quiz that will be posted on Wednesday, April
8. This quiz remains open until the date/time of the final exam.
Explore
Bill Arnett's website "The
Nine Planets". There
you will find a rich resource of materials, both text and
images, that will mostly cover the final exam's questions
concerning the planets. The short-form preview of this year's
final exam is here!
.
This year's final exam will have a very different format (one
that is shortened from recent past years: 50 multiple-choice, 25
true-false, 8 short-answer and one "free opinion"
question).
Another
very nice site for images of the planets and their satellites:
Welcome
to the Planets,
a JPL (Jet Propulsion Laboratory) - NASA (National Aeronautics
and Space Administration) site, and another.... The
Planetary Fact Sheet...
and another... WikiPedia.
And
a site for following the continuing progress of the (Opportunity
and Spirit) and the Cassini-Huygens
Saturn/Titan
mission. You might find Google
Mars and
Google
Moon useful
exploration sites.
It
may be that some stories from the “News
and highlights” web
page will relate to questions on this final but the material of
any such questions will also be found in the notes and covered
in the lectures.
