The Nine Planets
The Nine Planets is a multimedia website by Bill Arnett containing information about the Solar System. It was one of the first examples of a multimedia website when it first appeared on the World Wide Web in 1994 and, as was common for high traffic websites at the time, it was widely mirrored. It contains encyclopedic information about the Solar System with a page for each of the major bodies illustrated with photographs, mostly from NASA.
Awards
The site's numerous awards include:[1]
- 1995 PC Magazine's Top 100 websites
- 2002 Scientific American's Sci/Tech web award for astronomy and astrophysics[2]
gollark: * cool
gollark: The pattern matching is very coil.
gollark: Or it would if I didn't just inefficiently clone the trees near-continuously.
gollark: osmarkscalculator™ suffers from this somewhat.
gollark: Anyway, I've found that Rust makes some scenarios substantially more annoying. Mostly when dealing with weird trees and such a GC would handle nicely.
