Do you have any software for science fair experiments like YAHOO says you do?

Yes I do, but I stopped advertising them because no one was ever interested. The programs use the NASA/COBE data, and data from the Infrared Astronomical Satellite to study what the sky looks like at infrared wavelengths. You can navigate infrared images of the sky at wavelengths from 1 to 240 microns, and click on 'unknown' COBE objects and identify them from the IRAS infrared source catalog. If you are interested in purchasing them and getting more details, send me email with your request. You will be using REAL science data, and by this cross identification program, performing real, valid, and important scientific research that is very suitable for a science fair project.
