It's a Mac/Windows CD that provides a virtual tour of the planets, sun, moons, asteroids, and comets told in text, images, and animations. There's an extensive section on space exploration, with extensive mission summaries of Apollo, Voyager, Galileo and much more. The CD-ROM is web based, and includes copies of Microsoft's Internet Explorer and Adobe Acrobat Reader. Views includes an extensive educational section for teachers so it can be used in the classroom. There are lesson activities developed by NASA, copies of education articles from the National Science Teachers Association, and an extensive list of print and on-line resources. Although the CD-ROM is primarily aimed at the high school audience, but children of all ages will find it interesting. Views is available from the National Science Teachers Association for $21.95. There's a toll free number at 1-800-722-NSTA for U.S. and Canadian residents. For others, call 1-703-243-7100.
