Come with me. A generation ago, the astronomer Carl Sagan stood here and launched hundreds of millions of us on a great adventure: the exploration of the universe revealed by science. It's time to get going again. We're about to begin a journey that will take us from the infinitesimal to the infinite, from the dawn of time to the distant future. We'll explore galaxies and suns and worlds, surf the gravity waves of space-time, encounter beings that live in fire and ice, explore the planets of stars that never die, discover atoms as massive as suns and universes smaller than atoms. Cosmos is also a story about us. It's the saga of how wandering bands of hunters and gatherers found their way to the stars, one adventure with many heroes. -

Phoenix Rises Smith of the University of Arizona, the Mission’S Principal Investigator
Jet SEPTEMBER Propulsion 2007 Laboratory VOLUME 37 NUMBER 9 The key activities in the first few weeks of flight will include inspections of sci- ence instruments, radar and the communication system that will be used during and after the landing. Goldstein said that in-flight calibration tests of Phoenix’s Kennedy Space Center instruments would be conducted about every week or so during the cruise phase of the journey. The first instrument to undergo in-flight checkout was the Thermal and Evolved- Gas Analyzer, on Aug. 20, followed by calibration of Phoenix’s robotic arm tem- perature scoop near the end of the month. To be monitored in September are the robotic arm’s camera and the Microscopy, Electrochemistry and Conductivity Analyzer, as well as the calibration of the Sur- face Stereoscopic Imager’s camera. The only Phoenix instrument not requiring checkout during the early cruise phase is the Mars Descent Imager, Guinn said, which won’t undergo such scrutiny until Feb. 25. The camera will take a downward-looking picture during the final moments before Phoenix lands on Mars. Meantime, an overall operations readiness test is scheduled for the first week of October at Phoenix’s operations center at the University of Arizona in Tucson, which maintains a testbed facility to help iron out potential issues discovered in testing. Guinn said this capability gives him and the team confidence that the journey will proceed trouble-free. Phoenix will be the first mission to touch water-ice on Mars. Its robotic arm will dig into an icy layer believed to lie just beneath the surface. -

Depuis sa création en 1980 par une équipe de bénévoles passionnés, le Festival d’Ambronay joue avec le temps comme un musicien avec le tempo, l’étire, le presse, le module… À chaque édition, sa programmation remonte le temps à la rencontre des compositeurs et des chefs-d’œuvre intemporels, elle l’explore à la recherche d’œuvres inédites, s’en amuse en créant des passerelles entre des musiques d’époques et de genres différents, le jalonne en découvrant et en accompagnant les talents que recèle chaque génération. En 40 ans, quatre générations de musiciens et d’ensembles ont fait les belles heures d’un Festival devenu un moment incontournable du paysage international de la musique ancienne. Il était bien sûr impossible de les inviter tous à célébrer avec nous cette édition anniversaire et les choix ont été difficiles. -
