The scientific accuracy of the creations may not be as important as the learning, reasoning, and imagination used to construct each invention. Invent a Planet Students may create (draw, paint, montage, build from household or classroom items, whatever!) a planet. Does it have air? What color is its sky? Does it have ground? What is its ground made of? What is it like on this world? Invent an Alien Students may create (draw, paint, montage, build from household items, etc.) an alien. To be fair to the alien, they should be sure to provide a way for the alien to get food (what is that food?), a way to breathe (if it needs to), ways to sense the environment, and perhaps a way to move around its planet.

    Vision Statement The Space Science Institute is a thriving center of talented, entrepreneurial scientists, educators, and other professionals who make outstanding contributions to humankind’s understanding and appreciation of planet Earth, the Solar System, the galaxy, and beyond. 2 | Space Science Institute | Annual Report 2005 From Our Director Excite. Explore. Discover. These words aptly describe what we do in the research realm as well as in education. In fact, they defi ne the essence of our mission. Our mission is facilitated by a unique blend of on- and off-site researchers coupled with an extensive portfolio of education and public outreach (EPO) projects. This past year has seen SSI grow from $4.1M to over $4.3M in grants, an increase of nearly 6%. We now have over fi fty full and part-time staff. SSI’s support comes mostly from NASA and the National Sci- ence Foundation. Our Board of Directors now numbers eight. Their guidance and vision—along with that of senior management—have created an environment that continues to draw world-class scientists to the Institute and allows us to develop educa- tion and outreach programs that benefi t millions of people worldwide. SSI has a robust scientifi c research program that includes robotic missions such as the Mars Exploration Rovers, fl ight missions such as Cassini and the Spitzer Space Telescope, Hubble Space Telescope (HST), and ground-based programs. Dr. Tom McCord joined the Institute in 2005 as a Senior Research Scientist. He directs the Bear Fight Center, a 3,000 square-foot research and meeting facility in Washington state.

In 1655 Christiaan Huygens observed Saturn and proposed “It is surrounded by a thin, flat, ring, nowhere touching, inclined to the ecliptic.” This is what Saturn really looks like through a telescope!

    GLPA Newsletter Incorporates Small Sections of Several NASA Images for Its Page Mastheads

    IMAGE CREDITS Cover Design: Jackie Baughman ([email protected]) Cover Illustration: The cover of this issue features Jackie Baughman’s artistic interpretation of the Apollo 13 insignia. NASA’s original description of that mission insignia: “Apollo, the sun god of Greek mythology, was represented as the Sun, with three horses driving his chariot across the surface of the Moon, symbolizing how the Apollo flights have extended the light of knowledge to all mankind.” The current design of the GLPA Newsletter incorporates small sections of several NASA images for its page mastheads. These and other images can be accessed from NASA websites such as Mars Exploration, Scientific Visualization Studio, and Hubble Space Telescope websites at www.spacetelescope.org/images/, heritage.stsci.edu, and hubblesite.org/ gallery. And because all these photos are from NASA, they are free to use (with proper credit). Image Credits page background image: NGC 2074 in the Large Magellanic Cloud Credit: NASA, ESA, and M.

Stockli, A. Nelson, F. Hasler, NASA/ GSFC/ NOAA/ USGS Hi everyone! It’s a brand new season and you have a brand new GLPA President. Although I’ve been on the Executive Committee as President-Elect for the President’s past two years, I’m still admittedly new to the Message committee.
