The JPL website has a lot of fascinating stories for you astro folks right now! There's one story about new evidence of ancient volcanic explosions on Mars and another about the molten core of Mercury. Ice on Mars? Read all about it! There are also details about JPL Open House and, drumroll please......What's Up for May, my new monthly podcast! You can get to the 2 minute podcast from the JPL main page: http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/ http://education.jpl.nasa.gov/ The JPL education page has the video, and tools for amateur astronomers, such as sky charts you can download, links to amateur astronomy networks, and this is where the What's Ups will be archived. This month we feature the Dawn mission's Amateur Observer Program, since I talk about observing the asteroid Vesta - that's where the Dawn Mission will be heading later this summer. For those of you with iPods you can subscribe to the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory video and audio podcasts (podcasts are free and on iTunes under science podcasts) and have "What's Up" and other JPL podcasts downloaded automatically every month when you sync your iPod. Of course you can watch them on your computer too! Our next sidewalk dates will be May 18 and 19. May 19 is also JPL open house. Se you then!
