A unique opportunity to show Latin in the context of planetary science is project Beautiful Mars Latin, the world’s first science feed in Latin from the University of Arizona, Tucson.  Enjoy a perfect pairing of Latin (captions) and high resolution images of the surface of Mars from HiRISE, the camera on board the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.
Close up of the Nobel Prize for Physics with its LATIN inscription.

The Stanford Geospatial Network Model of the Roman World.
and at last: A site for palindromes and palindrome lovers.  Also great for a class warmup, um, raw!
