This CD contains the collection of the APOD daily pages for the calendar year 2006. Each page contains links to other pages on this CD: other APOD pages, the Imagine the Universe! glossary, and the StarChild site. Each page also contains a hot link to the original APOD page online, where you can find all the original external links. You must be connected to the internet to access the original APOD pages online.
Many APOD pages contain links to previous years' APODS (dating back to 1995). We have retained these links and included those pages on this CD. We have also included the APOD pages from previous years in the INDEX. On the Index pages, these are listed separately from the 2006 pages. In order to conserve space, we have not included the high resolution versions of the images from previous years. But you can always get those online.
[NOTE: Some browsers may have trouble viewing some of the large resolution images. If this happens, download the image (usually by right-clicking on the link) and view it using some other image viewer.]
Definitions from the Imagine the Universe! Glossary
Definitions from the Imagine the Universe!
glossary appear as pop-up windows. Just let your curser dwell
for a few seconds over a dictionary term and the definition will
appear in a small box next to the word. Javascript must be enabled in
your browser for this feature to work. Note that this feature applies
only to this CD and not to APOD online. The full glossary (with
links to topics on the Imagine site) is on Disc
1 of this CD set.
