July 12 will be upon us soon -- mark your calendars for our next GAAC meeting, featuring old friend and NASA Solar System Ambassador Ted Blank, with a presentation on the Mars Curiosity rover. Ted will give us a colorful and in-
depth look at the news and photos "just in from Mars"!
The meeting will begin at 8:00 at the Lanesville Community Center.
The Curiosity rover and the Mars Science Laboratory it carries are the most expensive, most complex instruments ever sent to the surface of another planet. In addition to great pictures, Curiosity is now returning cutting-edge science data for the first time, including, for just one example, checking out the martian radiation environment in advance of human visitors!
This is exciting stuff. Ted is one of our most popular speakers, so come early and bring your questions.
