Smile for the Camera!


"On Friday, July 19, between 21:27 and 21:42 UTC, the Cassini spacecraft will be taking pictures of Saturn, the magnificent ringed jewel of our solar system. Unlike most of the tens of thousands of images of Saturn taken, though, these will be special: From more than a billion kilometers away, Earth will be shining in them as well."

  1. Hi Mr. Schwartz-
    I thought that this article was really interesting! I was thinking of you a few days ago, because I went to look for an eraser in my backpack and found my blue plastic goldfish that you gave me at the end of the school year! After I found it, I used it to study for my biology final for the next day, and I'm happy to say that I got a 98 on the final and also as my overall semester grade! Hope you're finding good ways to beat the heat, and that you're still managing to enjoy the summer.
