This website gives a hint of some of the untapped possibilities of the World Wide Web for education and fun. Young astronomers can guide Arty and his alien friend Greg on an interactive adventure though the Solar System. You get in your space ship and click on a brightly-colored, orbiting model of the Solar System to select the planet of your destination. Once there, you get an animated closeup of the planet with some of its vital statistics. Later, in the games and activities section, you can test your knowledge of the Solar System, find out what your weight would be on other planets, and see how long it would take to get there. The site uses the Shockwave Flash 3 plug-in; however, there is a non-Shockwave version for slower browsers.
