Epo's Chronicles is a weekly web comic that takes place in the distant future. It is about a sentient spaceship called Epo, and its humanoid companion, Alkina. Epo's Chronicles is being developed by the Sonoma State University Education and Public Outreach (E/PO) group. The primary goal of Epo's Chronicles is to teach space science in an engaging format. Accompanying each episode are explanatory notes and glossary entries to help explain the science subjects discussed each week. Additional resources such as web links with lesson plans, and multimedia clips are also frequently available.

3dCognition.com is a 3D game-based learning site, which has free games for children and adults. These games teach the player about astronomy, geography, and music theory. Shockwave and a reasonably fast connection are required. You fly a 3D spaceship through the solar system and learn at the same time.
