Some neat and interesting websites. For the weekend! Or week. Whatever.

• 32 Nearby Stars – This is a ‘spatial representation of every star within 14 light-years of the sun’. You can zoom in, spin them around, and ultimately be in awe of the size of the galaxy. (Also, it’s IYA2009.)
• Hestekor – These four horses will start to sing when you click on them. And … that’s all.
• Grotrian Pianos – Play the piano with physics.
• Maps of War – Animated maps representing war, religion and government throughout history. Interesting!
• Strange and Beautiful Underwater Life – My favourites; the Vampire Squid and the Blobfish, whose flesh is a gelatinous mass.
• Light Saber simulator – Pick a Light Saber and fire it up.
• TV Theme Music and Songs – This site seems to have almost every theme song from every programme off the telly.
• Flower Maker – Make a flower!
• The Eco Zoo – Ecoda! Dobutsuen.
