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 most recent contributors have been:

- 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.
- David Palermo of Apple Computer, Inc. for his assistance.
- MetaCreations for their support.

## 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:

- Adobe Photoshop 4.0.
- Microsoft Visual C++ 5.0.

If you have any connection with Microsoft or Adobe and can get a copy of these products it would be greatly appreciated. I have a few copies of the NSTA CD-ROM of Views of the Solar System which I will send to those who donate Phoboshop or Visual C++.

Views of the Solar System has avoided placing advertising on the pages and does not plan on having the ugly banner pages 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, our organization will consider placing a small logo of the sponsor as part of the menu bar that can be seen on the home page and on the image pages. (Soon all of the pages will have 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 (cjhamil@lanl.gov).
