Whoa! Google Earth has a simulation of a solar eclipse in honor of the eclipse next week. This would be great in my astronomy class. Solar eclipses are rare, and you have to be in the right place at the right time to see one. Last year, students were asking when the next one would be- they wanted to take a trip to see it. Well, this one is visible in Asia- not a great idea for a field trip. But the simulation could be helpful to them to visualize what's happening.
Another blurb was about free printable graph paper, always helpful to have. I'd run across a site a while back, but it's nice to have some other options, too.

Google Earth continues to amaze me with the new innovations they add all the time. You can now explore the ocean and the stars from your own computer. This is one application that I personally need to spend more time with because there is so much that can be done with it.
