Deep Space Online will provide the educational community with new and exciting information from deep space sciences, as well as collect relevant information from previous space science projects, such as Online from Jupiter and Live from the Hubble Space Telescope. You will have the opportunity to explore deep space with the diverse group of NASA experts

Deep Space Online takes you where no human has ever ventured. Scientists share their insight into the physical processes of celestial objects including how energy, matter and gravity play a role. The outer planets of our own solar system (gas giants Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune), other galaxies, stars and multiple star systems, nebulae, clusters, and black holes are just a few of the phenomenal things researchers are hoping to unlock the secrets to. Can you imagine sharing with your students information and images of the full impact of a blast wave from an exploding star, a flare from a brown dwarf, or a small galaxy being cannibalized by a larger one?

Deep Space Online will introduce you to the extraordinary people who are working to discover the evolution and structure of our universe. Students will have the opportunity to learn about these men and women through their online profiles and journals detailing their work, as well as interact with them through live chats, web casts, and email Q&A. A background section and teacher support areas will be available soon. To enhance your exploration of our universe, NASA photos and images from many different sources will be available, as well as great background materials and support areas and resources to help in your adventure in space.

We hope that Deep Space Online proves to be an exciting opportunity for you to take a peek into the fascinating world of NASA's research concerning the universe. We are exploring space right now!
