| Sponsors of Views of the Solar System |
Views of the Solar System has been created out of a love for the marvelous universe
in which we live in. Unlike many of the sites on the Web, Views has been created
from a budget of $0.00 and from the assistance from many individuals in the world who
have made some significant contributions of time. It is not a government funded
project. The maintenance of this site depends upon your continued support.
The most recent contributors have been:
- Jeffrey Komori (jeffk@jeffk.com)
of KH6JUZ Enterprise for providing the
Web server space.
- A. Tayfun Oner has contributed a significant amount of time in
producing images, mosaics, and animations. His work has helped fill a gap
of material that cannot be found from images create by NASA/JPL or any
other space agency.
- Fernando Dias for
translating Views into Portuguese.
- Antonio Bello for
translating Views into Spanish.
- David Sakarjune of Word & Image for his software support.
- David Palermo
of Apple Computer, Inc. for his assistance.
- MetaCreations for their
support.
Commercial Opportunities
I am looking for a photo lab that would be interested in producing prints and slides
of the Views of the Solar System images. I get a number of requests for such a
service. I can set up a link from the image pages to the photo lab. The photo lab
would need to set up the mechanism for people to place an order.
Help Needed!
Questions have been raised from the community on how they can help with this
site. One way is through financial assistance. Such donations make it possible to
expand Views. It is costly to maintain a site that contains over 1000 pages
of information and a gigabyte of image and animation data. Another method of
support is by donating your time in building Views. Right now the
Views of the Solar System organization is in need of the following products:
I have a few copies of the NSTA
CD-ROM of Views of the Solar System which I will send to anyone who
can donate Photoshop.
If you have extra time on your hands, I am looking for some one who would be
interested in maintaining the page World Wide Web resources and someone
who would be interested in expanding the people in
astronomy page.
Advertising Oportunities
Views of the Solar System has avoided
placing advertising on its pages and does not plan on having the ugly banner
ads that can be seen on many of the sites. Never-the-less the financial
assistance is greatly needed. If you would like to be a sponsor of Views of
the Solar System, you can your logo at the top of each page as part of
the menu bar. Smaller donations will place you on the list of elite contributors who
have made Views possible. If you can assist in any way please contact
Calvin J. Hamilton (calvin@hawastsoc.org).
