OK.. I don't want to risk boring you to tears or giving the subject matter less than what it diserves... My favorite sites that fill my need in this venue are:
Astronomy
http://csep10.phys.utk.edu/astr161/lect/index.html
Chemistry
http://www.chemicalelements.com/elements/h.html
It gives the MLA reference to cite if you get the information from the website. It also tells who discovered the element so that you can go deeper into the history if you want.

Because of gravity, the solid planets are close to the sun, while the gas giants are further out.
This has become a criteria in the search for earth-like planets in other solar systems.
That is probably another reason why Pluto was demoted.

Russians are preparing a telescope which travells in space ,this is the first one ,who ever prepared.This is used to find 'Second Earth'.This principle is the gravitational pull of the planet on its Sun's light.

The moon is a far greater source of energy than what Earth has, even before we started burning fossil fuels. In the moon's regolith, there's an abundance of 3He, or helium isotope, which is the ideal fuel for fusion power.

there are more possible combinations in the human genome than there are stars in the galaxy, and the total number of humans that have ever existed.
