Origins
Who  hasn't gazed into the night sky or marveled at Earth's biodiversity and mused, "How? Why? Anywhere else?" These are some of life's big questions, and the quest for the origin of everything requires scientific rigor, not to mention serious brainpower, from far-flung fields of study. This site allows to you peek over the shoulders of particle physicists, penguin researchers, and astrobiologists in remote outposts via virtual field trips. From Antarctica to Arecibo, you'll meet great minds, learn about their complex tools, and see how each discipline holds a key piece to the cosmic jigsaw puzzle. Through show-and-tell webcasts, see discoveries as they unfold, join bat experts in Belize, or just chill out at the bottom of the world. Though scientists may never find all the pieces, surely assembling part of the big picture will lead to answers to the big questions. (in Astronomy and Space) |
