www.mit.edu has started their open learning stuff, but is very thin on the ground for space stuff.

I find that for physics and astronomy the Answerbank has quite a few very good posters.

For space and that kind of stuff, put 'edu' or 'ac uk' in your search, will throw up universities, which often have lots of good stuff available for public access.

It's all relative though.

This is the astronomy picture of the day site by nasa. Use the archive and the search options. Each picture has an explanation with it.

Sorry, couldn't help but laugh. Millions of dollars, huge obstacles to overcome (gravity trajectory calculations, airbags, thrust recalculations, object AI collision detection, the best telemetry ever)......gets stuck in sand. Hope he's got MAA cover..
