Eighth grade students in Miller Middle School teacher Sarah Margoles' space science class explored the properties of light and its importance to astronomers who use telescopes to scour the universe for phenomenon such as exoplanets, foreign stars and nebulae.
Astrophysicists Dimitri Klebe and Ana Bucki-Lopez with the Mobile Earth and Space Observatory, an environmental and space laboratory on wheels, led the course this week.

Shoot for the moon that shoots back | The Planetary Society
NASA's Cassini spacecraft's time at Saturn yielded some truly jaw-dropping images. This photo shows the moon Enceladus with geysers shooting from its south pole, against the backdrop of Saturn's rings with the tiny moon Pandora peeking out from behind them.
The powerful geysers on Saturn's moon Enceladus shoot about 200 kg (440 lb) of water, ice, and other materials into space every second. That material doesn't leave the Saturnian system, though. Much of it joins the planet's beautiful rings.

Celebrating 55 years of the Outer Space treaty
Space belongs to no one. Unlike Earth's beautiful big rocks and deep waters that get defaced , and ultimately, privatized, space's light years of mystique are attainable to anyone with the means to get there. We have the Outer Space treaty to thank for that, and this week is its 55th birthday.
