The SpaceRef Directory

• Arts & Humanities: Science Fact, Science Fiction, Art, Music, Films, TV - all things having to do with our personal and collective perspectives on space exploration and the universe around us.

• Astrobiology & Life Science: Covers the origin, evolution, and distribution of life on Earth; how might arise elsewhere in our solar system and beyond; how life adapts to space travel and microgravity; the extreme environments life inhabits on Earth; and how might we detect life elsewhere - and talk with them if we do.

• Astronomy: Covers the formation and evolution of the universe, the formation and distribution of galaxies, stars, solar systems, and planets; the planets and other objects comprise our solar system; and the solar systems and planets that have been detected around other stars.

• Astronautics: All aspects of spacecraft design, construction, operations, navigation, and control. Includes resources on all the humans and other life forms who have flown in space and how robots and automated systems are used to explore space.

• Companies & Commerce Links and resources that cover the companies who launch satellites, build rockets, spacecraft, and components, sell services - and the burgeoning area of space commercialization.

• Computers: Professional and personal software and hardware used to design spacecraft, calculate the positions of the stars and planets, examine data, and handle information about astronomy and space exploration.

• Earth Science: The study of planet Earth: its formation and evolution, atmosphere, surface, and interior - and the way it interacts with the rest of the solar system. Includes global warming, asteroid and comet impacts, and solar-terrestrial interactions.
