Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA)

JAXA is a great alternative to NASA if you're looking for something fresh. Japan having only recently entered the space race with any gusto have an uncluttered, easy to follow site, with the latest happenings on their recently launched KAGUYA (SELENE) mission.

Xinhuanet China View Sci & Tech Space/Astronomy Page
"Xinhuanet is the top news website in China, and one of the most influential sites in the world. According to Alexa, a U.S. website-ranking service, Xinhuanet at present ranks around 160th on its list of 108 million global websites. Its ranking places Xinhuanet third among the world's news websites, narrowly trailing BBC and CNN, but far ahead of Reuters, The Associated Press and AFP (Agence France-Presse).

Xinhuanet has set as its task to "publicize China and report the world." It does so by releasing 15,000 news stories a day, 12,000 of which are about China. Xinhuanet is an important window to China; its politics, economy, society, science and technology, education and culture."

LiveScience.com - Space

If you want conventional, mechanical, gravity-based space news this is the place to get it! Mind you, they are starting to add stories which at least challenge existing views, albeit delicately. Oh, and if you sign up to any of their newsletters, be prepared for a mailbox full of advertising. I only visit them when I choose now, from the plasmaresources.com link of course.

Space.com News

In close association with LiveScience, Space.com simply has a different user interface, with much the same style of news. Nevertheless, it's still a source of 'what's happening now' in space, and seems to alternate stories with a few other outlets.

NewScientistSpace - Cassini: Mission to Saturn

As an adjunct to the NewScientist page listed above which is so comprehensive as to be difficult to navigate to specifics, I added this link which goes directly to the Cassini mission info. From this page, on the lower left under 'Special Reports' you can access a number of their other pages, including: Sputnik's Legacy, Cosmology, Comets and Asteroids, Mars Rovers and Astrobiology, to name a few.

European Space Agency
"The Web Portal of the European Space Agency (ESA) presents news, information and the latest imagery on ESA activities to a broad spectrum of people interested in space and space activities.

The Web Portal offers users the possibility to learn more about ESA's organization and to navigate the site in order to learn more about specific areas and programmatic themes. It also serves as a channel to link visitors to ESA's more specialised scientific and technical sites, which are of interest to various space-related communities.

ESA's Web Portal offers a wide range of services, including the multimedia gallery, access to e-business with ESA and an order service for publications."

ScienceDaily.com Space and Time News
"ScienceDaily is unique in that the magazine's articles are selected from news releases submitted by leading universities and other research organizations around the world. Each news release is posted in its original form, with a link to the organization's home page, to aid journalists and others interested in finding up-to-date and relevant background information for a particular story. In this way, ScienceDaily takes what has been compared to the "C-SPAN" approach -- delivering science news in its original, unedited format directly from the source (in this case, the news bureaus and public affairs offices of major universities and research institutions).

In addition, ScienceDaily offers links to major science media and other sources of science news on the Internet, as well as a collection of thousands of interesting science-related sites (courtesy of the open-source Open Directory Project) aimed at helping web surfers in their online explorations. Readers can also browse through our online encyclopedia (courtesy of the open-source Wikipedia project) to find in-depth science, health, environment, and technology articles on various topics. And readers can subscribe to free weekly e-mail bulletins that summarize the top science news stories of the past week."

msnbc Space News

The msn's msnbc News Service Space News page, offers some stories that the others don't, as well as links to news stories on many other subjects. If you don't mind things popping up all over the place as you move your cursor around, (one of my pet hates in netlife...), this can be an interesting site to explore.

21st Century Science & Technology
"21st Century Science & Technology magazine challenges the assumptions of modern scientific dogma, including quantum mechanics, relativity theory, biological reductionism, and the formalization and separation of mathematics from physics. We demand a science based on constructible (intelligible) representation of concepts, but shun the simple empiricist or sense-certainty methods associated with the Newton-Galileo paradigm.

Our unique collection of editors and scientific advisers maintain an ongoing intellectual dialogue with leading thinkers in many areas, including biology, physics, space science, oceanography, nuclear energy, and ancient epigraphy. Original studies by the controversial economist Lyndon LaRouche have challenged the epistemological foundations of the von Neumann and Wiener-Shannon information theory, and located physical science as a branch of physical economy. In science policy areas, we have challenged sacred cows, from the theory of global warming to the linear threshold concept of radiation.

21st Century is the sucessor to Fusion magazine (published from 1977 to 1987), and has sister publications in French and German, both called Fusion."

Wired

Wired is a great magazine with loads of stories which others may be reluctant to air. Wired is not afraid to challenge established views, and offers a wide variety of news, views and entertainment. Well worth a 'favorites' entry and regular follow-up.

Thunderblog brings you a wide variety of articles from both professionals and laypersons alike. We have assembled a large team of contributors to broaden the outlook of Thunderbolts and to help our general readership to understand some of the day to day issues as Electric Universe seeks its place within the broader context of modern science.

The Electric Universe News & Views

A vault full of news stories of electrical interpretation written by Wal Thornhill, co-author (with David Talbott) of The Electric Universe. I find Thornhill to be an excellent writer of compelling, down-to-earth, understandable articles with great insight into many 'unusual' or 'surprising' findings of the established scientific community. For anyone seriously considering the EU/PC theories, this archive is a must.
