Ongoing Gizmo Enhancements

This spring we have continued to modify and enhance our Gizmo library. Last week a user pointed out that the view of the Moon portrayed in the Moon Phases and Moonrise, Moonset, and Phases Gizmos was actually a photo taken from space, showing the Moon from an angle not possible to see from Earth. Luckily, our own Raman Pfaff is something of an amateur photographer, and he had on file a beautiful photo he had taken of the Full Moon. We all agree it adds a nice personal touch to a popular Gizmo!

Raman can also take credit for a fantastic new animation on Cell Division , and we have improved several other Gizmos as well, including Solar System Explorer , Rainfall and Bird Beaks, Food Chain , and Beam to Moon. Enjoy!
