FEATURING . . .
LOOK FOR HIDDEN TREASURES!
Like the universe itself, SkyMarvels™ contains many hidden treasures! It is a site of constant discovery! So don't be surprised if running your mouse cursor over a planet or moon or other image suddenly reveals additional info about what you are viewing, or perhaps a hidden link. Will you discover all of these hidden treasures?
Here are a few hints. First, slowly run your cursor over "The Visible Electromagnetic Spectrum" near the top left of this page and you will see the approximate theoretical wavelengths of various colors of light. Also, try clicking on the small rotating Earth at the upper right, just below the main menu. An information page about the Earth will appear, and hovering over that page's Earth will show its interior structure! (While you're there, try clicking on the Moon and, when the larger Moon appears, hover over it!)
SkyMarvels™ is full of such treasures for you to enjoy!
