If you don't have Cox digital cable you can still watch NASA TV via
the web. I watch it on the big screen using my laptop connected to it
and using this link. http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/index.html

I'm working on the Upcoming Events for PAS and
realized we had an awesome presentation, that I had
to miss, with Leah at Bookman's this last weekend.
Wish I could have attended,.
[B]So, the next Bookman's class that is long and can use a speaker is
July 20th. Do I have any volunteers to do a presentation, any length
as long as you fit into the schedule. We are there from 2:30 to 6:30,
you may do up to a 2 hour presentation, starting at 3pm.[/B]
On Nov 16, we have Mike doing a presentation. You won't want to miss it!
RSVP your attendance today.
Would love to have a speaker for the July meeting. Thanks a bunch!

Space Weather News for June 1, 2008
http://spaceweather.com
ICY MARTIAN 3D: NASA's Phoenix Mars
Lander may have already
found ice
at its landing site without even digging
for it. Exhaust from the
lander's descent engine appears to have
swept aside a layer of topsoil,
exposing frozen material beneath. Today's
edition of
http://spaceweather.com shows images of
the find along with some
eye-popping stereo views of the lander's
surroundings.
SPACE SHUTTLE DISCOVERY: Space shuttle
Discovery blasted off from Cape
Canaveral yesterday and now it is chasing
the International Space
Station (ISS) around Earth. Sky watchers
should be alert for the two
spacecraft streaking across the heavens
tonight. Check our global satellite
tracking tool for flyby times:
http://spaceweather.com/flybys
The ISS appears first followed less than
two minutes later by Discovery
in hot pursuit. Discovery is on a mission
to deliver a new Japanese
science lab and robotic arm to the ISS
along with spare parts to repair
the station's malfunctioning toilet.
