GEHMS Kids Operate NASA Radio Telescope to Explore Deep Space!
Congratulations! They did it! Thank you GAVRT and NASA! Fourth grade student scientists from GEHMS successfully operated one of NASA’s 850,000 pound, ten-story radio telescopes located in Goldstone Valley, California. From their laptop computer in the school science lab, these young astronomers collected data emitted from a black hole in deep space. Their data will contribute to scientific research of an international group of NASA scientists.

International Space Station Viewing Alerts: When can you see the ISS?
Every so often, you can see the ISS in your night sky. To us on Earth, it looks like a bright star moving quickly above the horizon. So how do you know when you can see the ISS pass overhead?
NASA has a great tool to help – the Spot the Station program lets you sign up to receive alerts to let you know when the ISS will be visible from your location – anywhere in the world.You can get also sign up for alerts via email or text message. Typically, alerts are sent out a few times each month when the station’s orbit is near your location. Visit the Spot the Station website here to sign up, and view a list of upcoming sighting opportunities.
