Good morning all,
 I hope you had great weekend and will look forward to the week ahead, of course one day at a time... I want to add my sincere thanks and appreciation to all of you....I honestly believe you have the most difficult job in the world and I admire you so much for all you do.....from dealing with a class full of different personalities, to local and state "administrative" requirements, and probably most difficult ...parents... every day has to be extremely challenging as you try to mold 20 or so different personalities into a group with a common objective.... learn and move on to the next grade...I think you are all amazing and we know we all remember our favorite teacher who impact so many for life...so I hope you have great week... that the kids and parents will let you know they care ...we have to remember to always do our best, enjoy everything we do, live in the present, keep things in perspective, smile & have fun...gabe

Nili Patera is one of the most active dune fields on Mars. As such, it is continuously monitored with the HiRISE (High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment) camera, a science instrument aboard NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, with a new image acquired about every six weeks. By monitoring the sand dune changes, we can determine how winds vary seasonally and year-to-year. This observation is one of the more recent Nili images, acquired on March 1, 2014. Compared to an image acquired on Nov. 22, 2012, changes are obvious. The ripples on the dunes have moved, as well some of the dune boundaries, such as the one at upper left. New landslides on the central dune's lee face are apparent. Such changes, in just 16 months (and finer scale changes have been seen in just a couple of weeks), demonstrate the effectiveness of wind in modifying the Martian landscape. HiRISE is one of six instruments on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. The University of Arizona, Tucson, operates the orbiter's HiRISE camera, which was built by Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp., Boulder, Colo. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter Project for the NASA Science Mission Directorate, Washington. > More information and image products Image Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/Univ. of Arizona Caption: Nathan Bridges

Hubble View: A Hungry Starburst Galaxy
 <http://www.nasa.gov/content/goddard/hubble-view-a-hungry-starburst-galaxy/index.html>
This new Hubble picture is the sharpest ever image of the core of spiral galaxy Messier 61. Taken using the High Resolution Channel of Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys, the central part of the galaxy is shown in striking detail. Also known as NGC 4303, this galaxy is roughly 100,000 light-years across, comparable in size to our galaxy, the Milky Way.
