NASA has done a great job of packaging a lot of resources and information into an easy to use interactive site. The Flash interface on the main page lets you get brief descriptions of each of the planets in the solar system (plus the asteroids, of course) along with information about NASA missions to each. The multimedia section contains hundreds of still pictures, videos and space art by kids. Check the Interactive Section for some excellent interactive Flash movies about the solar system and other aspects of space exploration. Some of this material has been on other parts of NASA’s site but now everything is brought together in one location.
