Week of September 15, 1997

The Columbus Optical SETI Observatory
Most people associate SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) with radio observatories and seraches at microwave wavelengths. However, as Dr. Stuart Kingsley explains at this Web site, searches at optical wavelengths -- from the ultraviolet through the visible to the infrared -- can also be used to turn up evidence of extraterrestrial intelligence. This largely overlooked techinique is discussed in detail at this Web site, along with other information about SETI.

Stanford SOLAR Center

There are activities, basic information, solar artwork (including images and illustrations of data), and an opportunity to ask questions of solar physicists, among other features.
