SUMMARY:Int'l Observe the Moon Night
DESCRIPTION:Visit Our Event Campaign Page\n  \nEncouraging Observation\, Appreciation and Understanding\nInternational Observe the Moon Night is a worldwide\, public celebration of lunar science and exploration held annually since 2010. On October 16\, 2021\, your library is invited to join this world-wide celebration by hosting an event on one day each year to look at and learn about our Moon together. \nInternational Observe the Moon Night is usually held in the fall\, when the Moon is around first quarter. Fall in the Northern Hemisphere is generally a good time\, because of school schedules and the weather\, and a first quarter Moon is visible in the afternoon and evening\, a convenient time for most hosts and participants.

SUMMARY:The Perseverance Rover Landing
DESCRIPTION:Visit Our Event Campaign Page\n  \nThe Perseverance Rover Landing\nPerseverance will touch down on Mars on Thursday\, Feb. 18\, 2021\, at approximately 12:30 p.m. PST (3:30 p.m. EST). During landing\, the rover plunges through the thin Martian atmosphere\, with the heat shield first\, at a speed of over 12\,000 mph (about 20\,000 kph). A parachute and powered descent slow the rover down to about 2 mph (three-fourths of a meter per second). A large sky crane then lowers the rover on three bridle cords to land softly on six wheels. Landing on Mars is hard. Read all about the rover’s harrowing entry\, descent and landing. \nLanding at Jezero Crater\nThe rover’s new home is Jezero Crater\, a large impact crater about 28 miles wide (45 kilometers wide) just north of the Martian equator. Jezero once contained a lake\, which scientists think is one of the most ideal places to find evidence of ancient microbial life. If life exists anywhere else in our solar system\, chances are\, it might be at Jezero Crater. The main question Perseverance is trying to answer is: Was there ever ancient life on Mars? To answer that question\, the rover will collect and store the most compelling rock and soil samples for return to Earth by a future mission. Once on Earth\, scientists can use a variety of sophisticated instruments\, many of them too large and bulky to transport to Mars\, to help answer this question.

SUMMARY:NASA In-flight Education Downlink
DESCRIPTION:Visit Our Event Campaign Page\n  \nConnecting Kids with Astronauts Through Libraries\nSlover Library\, one of the most technologically advanced libraries in Virginia\, was selected by NASA to host a live In-flight Education Downlink on August 9\, 2019 from the International Space Station with NASA astronaut Nick Hague. Note: Nick is replacing Christina and Drew as the participating astronaut for this event. \nIn the summer of 2019\, 16\,000 libraries across the country will celebrate space exploration in their summer reading programs. The slogan “A Universe of Stories” was chosen by library professionals to help inspire children of all ages to dream big\, believe in themselves\, and create their own story. Visit STAR Net’s Summer of Space webpage for resources that can be utilized in your summer learning program. \nNote: This downlink event\, co-sponsored by the STAR Library Network (STAR Net) and its NASA@ My Library program\, will be streamed live nationally so that other public libraries can organize their own viewing event.

SUMMARY:Parker Solar Probe
DESCRIPTION:Visit Our Event Campaign Page\n  \nHumanity’s First Mission to Touch the Sun\nNASA’s historic Parker Solar Probe mission will revolutionize our understanding of the Sun\, where changing conditions can propagate out into the solar system\, affecting Earth and other worlds. This probe will travel through the Sun’s atmosphere\, closer to the surface than any spacecraft before it\, facing brutal heat and radiation conditions — and ultimately providing humanity with the closest-ever observations of a star.

SUMMARY:Mars InSight Lander
DESCRIPTION:Visit Our Event Campaign Page\n  \nInvestigating the Red Planet’s Interior Structure\nThe Mars Insight Lander touched down on Mars at around noon Pacific (3 p.m. Eastern) on Nov. 26\, 2018. The lander plunged through the thin Martian atmosphere\, heatshield first\, and use a parachute to slow down. Then\, it fired its retro rockets to slowly descend to the surface of Mars\, and land on the smooth plains of Elysium Planitia \nInSight\, short for Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations\, Geodesy and Heat Transport\, is a Mars lander designed to give the Red Planet its first thorough checkup since it formed 4.5 billion years ago. It is the first outer space robotic explorer to study in-depth the “inner space” of Mars: its crust\, mantle\, and core. \nStudying Mars’ interior structure answers key questions about the early formation of rocky planets in our inner solar system – Mercury\, Venus\, Earth\, and Mars – more than 4 billion years ago\, as well as rocky exoplanets. InSight also measures tectonic activity and meteorite impacts on Mars today.
