Here are the websites and on-line simulations you may use in order to carry out your research for the final poster session.  Should you wish to branch out from the approved websites, please contact Dr. G to get approval. It could be really fun to do some data-mining on some other astronomical data so please be creative but don't get in over your head ;)

MAKE SURE YOUR RESEARCH QUESTION IS ANSWERABLE!
You should use one of these websites/programs and be able to answer your question with NO OTHER outside sources.  You can make some conjectures using your data AND outside sources, but your evidence-based conclusion must be derived only from that data source.

Stars and Star Clusters:

• The Digital Demo Room to get more into HR Diagrams: http://rainman.astro.illinois.edu/ddr/stellar/index.html
• SCOPE - Spectral classification of stars (OBAFGKM), kind of like a Zooniverse project: http://scope.pari.edu/
• Zooniverse: SuperWASP Variable Stars - citizen science project to look for variable stars of several types looking all over the sky: https://www.zooniverse.org/projects/ajnorton/superwasp-variable-stars 
• Zooniverse: Variable Star Zoo - citizen science project to look for variable stars of several types looking toward the center of our Milky Way Galaxy: https://www.zooniverse.org/projects/ilacerna/variable-star-zoo   
• Zooniverse: Local Group Cluster Search - citizen science project to find star clusters (both real and simulated) in our Local Cluster of galaxies: https://www.zooniverse.org/projects/lcjohnso/local-group-cluster-search  
• Globular Clusters Database - examine properties of and see color-magnitude diagrams for globular clusters in the Milky Way: http://gclusters.altervista.org/
• New Optically Visible Open Clusters and Candidates Catalog (OPENCLUST) - query, download, and examine properties of open clusters in the Milky Way: https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/W3Browse/star-catalog/openclust.html  
• WEBDA Open Star Cluster Database - one of the sites used often by astronomers, will make color-magnitude diagrams, has a steep learning curve: https://www.univie.ac.at/webda/ 

Solar System / Sun:

• Solar Influences Data Center - has a great archive of sunspot data (as well as other solar data), sunspot data easily downloadable: http://sidc.oma.be/index.php3
• SpaceWeather.com - sunspot and aurora data, plus interesting other space weather things: http://spaceweather.com/
• SpaceWeatherLive.com - a searchable archive of sunspot, solar storm, and aurora data, not easily downloaded: https://www.spaceweatherlive.com/  
• Zooniverse: Solar Stormwatch II - citizen science project to track solar storms in space to improve space weather forecasts: https://www.zooniverse.org/projects/shannon-/solar-stormwatch-ii 
• Zooniverse: Protect Our Planet From Solar Storms - citizen science project to examine the complexity of coronal mass ejections from the Sun: https://www.zooniverse.org/projects/lepnoir/protect-our-planet-from-solar-storms 

Nebulae:

• Zooniverse: Milky Way Project - citizen science project to find bubbles, star clusters, EGOs, pillars, etc. to help understand how stars (and planets) form http://www.milkywayproject.org/ 
• Galactic Planetary Nebula Catalog (PLNEBULAE) - query, download, and examine properties of planetary nebulae found in the Milky Way: https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/W3Browse/nebula-catalog/plnebulae.htm 
• HASH Planetary Nebula Database - well-vetted set of planetary nebulae in the Milky Way, no distances (has angular sizes): http://hashpn.space/  
• Google ImageSearch of "planetary nebula" or "supernova remnant" or "star-forming region" for comparison purposes (may wish to okay with Dr. G)
• The Hubble Space Telescope Image Gallery: http://hubblesite.org/gallery/album/ (chose from the different categories - note that the photographic sample here is a bit biased toward the prettiest things...) 

Research Resource:

• NASA Astrophysics Data Service - Look up articles on what you want so you can mine the data tables (you can click on "Astronomy and Astrophysics" or whatever): http://adswww.harvard.edu/ads_abstracts.html
