NAAP: Nebraska Astronomy Applet Project


The good people at the Nebraska Astronomy Applet Project (NAAP) have produced some nice astro applets which are free for non-profit educational use.

They are no longer available via Adobe Flash which has been mostly phased out. You now need to install packages from NAAP: Native Apps:
  1. ClassAction - v2.3.msi 97.4 MB January 30, 2020.
  2. NAAP Labs - v1.1.msi 22.4 MB January 30, 2020.
  3. Interactives - v1.1.msi 46.7 MB January 30, 2020.
  4. Simulation Content Guide: But this does NOT say what is in Interactives.

Some of the applets are described a bit in the html files listed below and these html files can be inserted into other html files as div inserts.
