http://planetquest.jpl.nasa.gov/Created at the Jet Propulsion Labs, this website offers online resources as well as offline activities for middle school and high school students. Highlighting the technology of interferometry (a method employing the interference of electromagnetic radiation to make highly precise measurements of the angle between the two rays of light), students can begin to understand how this technology can change our knowledge of the universe and the search for life on other planets. Virtual tours, 3D models and animations have been created to more clearly show students the work being done by JPL
