>> Good morning all,
>> I hope you had a great weekend, I believe we sent a test email on the new group email....I hope you received it and  didn’t have any problems....please let me know if you didn’t receive it as I’m not sure which schools may have fire walls...you might check with your system administrators to let them know to clear the email from spacetalk at educatemotivate.com I’ll try to rotate between the two to let you know that one was sent so if you get this and not the other we will know there is a problem....tomorrow I will be going to Carlton Palmer and Cleveland court Elementary schools...I went to Cleveland Court last year and have never been back to a school so soon so I think it will be interesting...it kind of happened by accident so will see how the kids react...I basically do the same thing and not so sure it will be as much fun when they know what is coming, so hopefully it will go well, although I can’t imagine how spending time with the kids couldn’t...wishing you a wonderful day...we have to remember to always do our best, enjoy everything we do, live in the present, smile and have fun! gabe

>> Sochi, Russia Winter Olympic Sites (Mountain Cluster)
>> 
>> The 2014 Winter Olympic ski runs may be rated double black diamond, but they're not quite as steep as they appear in this image of the skiing and snowboarding sites for the Sochi Winter Olympic Games, acquired on Jan. 4, 2014, by the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) instrument on NASA's Terra spacecraft. Rosa Khutar ski resort near Sochi, Russia, is in the valley at center, and the runs are visible on the shadowed slopes on the left-hand side of the valley. Height has been exaggerated 1.5 times to bring out topographic details. The games, which begin on Feb. 7 and continue for 17 days, feature six new skiing and boarding events plus the return of the legendary Jamaican bobsled team to the winter games for the first time since 2002. In this southwest-looking image, red indicates vegetation, white is snow, and the resort site appears in gray. The area imaged is about 11 miles (18 kilometers) across in the foreground and 20 miles (32 kilometers) from front to back. The image was created from the ASTER visible and near-infrared bands, draped over ASTER-derived digital elevation data. With its 14 spectral bands from the visible to the thermal infrared wavelength region and its high spatial resolution of 15 to 90 meters (about 50 to 300 feet), ASTER images Earth to map and monitor the changing surface of our planet. ASTER is one of five Earth-observing instruments launched Dec. 18, 1999, on Terra. The instrument was built by Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. A joint U.S./Japan science team is responsible for validation and calibration of the instrument and data products. The broad spectral coverage and high spectral resolution of ASTER provides scientists in numerous disciplines with critical information for surface mapping and monitoring of dynamic conditions and temporal change. Example applications are: monitoring glacial advances and retreats; monitoring potentially active volcanoes; identifying crop stress; determining cloud morphology and physical properties; wetlands evaluation; thermal pollution monitoring; coral reef degradation; surface temperature mapping of soils and geology; and measuring surface heat balance. The U.S. science team is located at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. The Terra mission is part of NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington, D.C. ;More information about ASTER is available at asterweb.jpl.nasa.gov/.

>> Crescent Moon Rising and Earth's Atmosphere
>> 
>> On Feb. 1, 2014, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency astronaut Koichi Wakata tweeted this view of a crescent moon rising and the cusp of Earth's atmosphere. Distinct colors are visible because the dominant gases and particles in each layer of the atmosphere act as prisms, filtering out certain colors of light. > Follow @Astro_Wakata on Twitter Image Credit: NASA
