Subject: Buckle Up - We're Going to Mars this Monday 


This Monday, July 23 rd at 6pm Pacific/9pm Eastern come along with other Night Sky Network club members for an exclusive telecon all about our upcoming visit to Mars. NASA’s Mars Science Laboratory will be landing on the red planet in just a few short weeks. The mission and rover are designed to assess whether Mars was ever habitable. Listen live and ask questions as Deputy Project Scientist Dr. Ashwin Vasavada gives us the highlights and more from this mission. 
Plus… See below for chances to win cool Mars prizes! 
  
To participate in the live telecon, first get the slides by either 
Downloading the PowerPoint (14MB) 

Or viewing it online 

Then, on Monday, July 23rd at 6:00 pm PDT (9:00 pm EDT) NSN members join the live telecon by calling the toll-free line: 1-888-455-9236 
  
Call up to 15 minutes before the telecon begins. An operator will answer and: 
- You will be asked for the passcode: NIGHT SKY NETWORK 
- You will be asked to give your NAME and the CLUB you belong to, and number of people listening with you. 
  
*Bonus* 
One lucky listener will receive the new book 
Destination Mars: New Explorations of the Red Planet by Rod Pyle 
  

*Another Bonus!* 
What is your club doing to celebrate the landing (August 5th)? If you're having an event the weekend of August 3rd-5th, be sure to get it on the NSN calendar. Scheduled events will automatically be entered into a drawing for a Mars Globe! Get your events posted by Wednesday, July 25th to qualify! Odds are great – there are fewer than 50 events posted so far!
