Items of Interest to Wobbleworks
We regularly encounter people and organizations that inspire us, educate us, or help us out. Although we labor to give every source for our programs credit in the apps themselves, sometimes we want to call out other sites and resources that we are thankful for at Wobbleworks.
Peninsula Astronomical Society
Our home astronomy club, serving much of Silicon Valley. A very friendly group with regular star parties and speaking engagements. This club also operates the Foothill College Observatory.
Universe Today
One of our favorite sites for astronomy news, with frequent updates and a down-to-Earth writing style. Always something interesting to read, and they are very active in the community.
Billion Planets Quest
Philip A Cruden let us know about his great collection of art and astrophotography, and we were very impressed. Lots of well-done videos that remind you just how exciting space can be.
NASA Solar System Exploration
In addition to providing content used for articles in Luminos, the NASA Solar System Exploration site is just amazing fun to explore. Everything from puzzles to interactive mission guides is right here.
