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:Sky Stories
DESCRIPTION:Visit Our Event Campaign Page\n  \nConstellations: Science and Stories in the Sky\nSummer is the finest part of the year for stargazing because it offers warm nights and the beauty of the Milky Way running straight overhead. The constellations we see have been passed down to us across generations with patterns that reflect different stories from around the world. \nAs part of STAR Net‘s Sky Stories campaign\, the American Museum of Natural History’s own Carter Emmart demonstrated how to identify the constellations and introduce you to a few of these stories while exploring some of the science behind the familiar patterns in the sky. \nThis live OpenSpace webcast was brought to you by the STAR Library Network’s NASA@ My Library program in partnership with the Lunar and Planetary Institute\, the American Library Association\, and the American Museum of Natural History.

SUMMARY:Lights On Afterschool
DESCRIPTION:Visit Our Event Campaign Page\n  \nCelebrating Library-Afterschool Partnerships\nPublic libraries and afterschool programs share the common goal of providing safe and enriching environments for participating children and engaging families in their communities. \nAcross the country\, 10.2 million kids attend afterschool programs where they have access to a healthy snack or a meal\, academic help\, and enrichment activities like reading\, STEM\, and art. Lights On Afterschool is the only nationwide event celebrating afterschool programs and their important role in the lives of children\, families\, and communities. \nThis year afterschool-library partnerships are continuing to be celebrated as an official theme for Lights On Afterschool! This is a great opportunity to showcase a afterschool or summer program that you run out of your library\, highlight a partnership you already have\, or begin a new partnership with an afterschool program for the first time for a Lights On Afterschool event\, October 24.

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.

SUMMARY:2017 Solar Eclipse
DESCRIPTION:Visit Our Event Campaign Page\n  \nThe Celestial Event of the Century\nOn August 21\, 2017\, a spectacular total eclipse of the Sun was visible across the continental U.S. for the first time since 1918. Every state had at least 65% of the Sun covered by the Moon\, and lucky people on a narrow path from Oregon to South Carolina saw the stunning beauty of totality that they will remember all their lives. \nBy the Numbers\nIt is estimated that the STAR Net Library Eclipse Project allowed 6 million people to observe the event safely. Participating libraries were estimated to have conducted around 35\,000 science programs before and during the eclipse\, reaching approximately 1\,750\,000 people.
