https://spacewatch.lpl.arizona.edu/fmo-project/overview
The SPACEWATCH® FMO Project, run by the University of Arizona's Lunar and Planetary Laboratory, documents the detection of Fast Moving Objects, which are near-Earth asteroids passing so close that they appear as light trails in telescope imagery. The site explains the science behind close-approach asteroid detection, shares discovery images, and describes the citizen participation program that once helped identify faint FMOs.

The Rochester Astronomy Club is a 501(c)(3) non-profit based in Rochester, Minnesota, offering public night sky viewing events, member resources, and a club forum for amateur astronomers. The site features observing reports, event calendars, member blogs covering topics like Titan shadow transits and comet sightings, and outreach activities at local community events.
http://reptile-database.org/
The Reptile Database, maintained by Peter Uetz and Jiří Hošek since 1995, is a comprehensive scientific reference cataloging all known reptile species including lizards, snakes, turtles, crocodiles, tuataras, and amphisbaenians. With advanced search tools, downloadable data, and regularly updated species counts backed by a team of volunteer editors, it serves as a definitive taxonomic resource for herpetologists and enthusiasts alike.
http://science-workshop.com/
Science Workshop appears to be a science-oriented site, though its content is extremely minimal with only a single image visible at crawl time. The domain name suggests a focus on science education or hands-on scientific topics, but without further content the site's exact subject remains uncertain.
http://schematicsforfree.com/
SchematicsForFree is a volunteer-run archive offering free electronics schematics, circuit diagrams, and service manuals covering audio, video, automotive, and test equipment. Updated regularly since 2022, it embodies the original open-sharing spirit of the web, providing hard-to-find technical documents at no cost.
