A neat little page crammed with a ton of information, SpaceWeather.com is well worth the trip. I first came across this site when looking for a report on sunspot activity (yes, I am one of those who believe the sun has more of an effect on Earth's climate than does my car). Well, there on the front page is an image of the Sun with the latest sunspot activity (none, as of this writing).
Poke around a little, and you will find all kinds of interesting information and links. For instance, how about a link to the NASA web site, and a ground level view of the lunar lander Challenger lifting off. Or, how about a wake-up call the next time the Northern Lights are visible (there is a charge for this service)?
This is a great site for daily information for serious amateur astronomers, and a fun site to explore for anyone interested in astronomy.
