Good morning all,
 I hope your week is going well, been very busy here....tomorrow I will be participating in a very special event... Hillsborough County Public Schools 1st Annual STEM Day Celebration... this is a huge celebration, involving 21 schools with one of the schools'... to coincide with the 5th Grade Student Spaceflight Experiments Program.... project selected to be sent to the International Space Station for the astronauts to do their experiment. I was also involved with this last year and it was amazing to see how each grade competed and then the excitement in sharing with the winning team. In addition to taking part in this I will also be visiting Gibsonton, Pinecrest, Lee, and Burney Elementary schools to speak with the kids....which I so enjoy :) The astronauts have been busy on the space station preparing for the arrival of a supply ship which docked last night and then 3 more crew members will leave tomorrow for the ISS. NASA TV will carry the pre-launch and launch as well as the docking, I hope you will share it with the kids as it will be replayed so you can show it during school hours... http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/schedule.html Wishing you a very happy day... we have to remember to always do our best, enjoy everything we do, keep things in perspective, live in the present, be thankful for the good in our lives, smile & have fun! gabe

CME Week: Coronal Mass Ejections at Mars
 <http://www.nasa.gov/content/goddard/coronal-mass-ejections-at-mars/index.html>
On Sept. 21, 2014, a new NASA mission, the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN), reached Mars after a 10-month journey. MAVEN will observe the Martian upper atmosphere, including keeping an eye on just what effect the solar wind and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) have on the red planet. Such observations not only help us understand the history of what led to the desert surface we see today, but also pave the way for protecting
