Track the satellite

Track Satellites in real-time : J-Track 3D.

We hope you enjoy J-Track 3-D.  It should appear in its own window and begin loading a database of over 500 satellites. 

What you will see (assuming your system supports this JAVA applet) is a plot in 3-dimensions showing the position of these satellites.   Be sure to try the "Satellite" pull-down menu to choose which satellite you wish to view.

Old Anatomy Texts

From the U.S. National Library of Medicine: Historical Anatomies on the Web.

Historical Anatomies on the Web is a digital project designed to give Internet users access to high quality images from important anatomical atlases in the Library's collection. The project offers selected images from NLM's atlas collection, not the entire books, with an emphasis on images and not texts.

This familiar image is from William Cheselden's Osteographia (1733).

Dining In The Dark

 If you're in West Hollywood, you can dine in complete darkness: Opaque.

Opaque - Dining in the Dark - will seat you in a literally pitch-black dining room where you will be guided and served by blind or visually impaired individuals that have been specially trained to serve meals in the dark, casually and comfortably offering guidance and reassurance for sighted guests.

Here's a photo of a couple enjoying their meal.
