How do you teach young kids the wonders of physics? That old story about
an apple hitting some guy on the head 300 years ago doesn't work anymore.
Teachers need something more attention-getting ... like black holes and
supernova explosions. At an upcoming NASA-sponsored workshop, science
teachers will learn to use real data from the Chandra X-ray Observatory to
inspire students in their own classrooms. If you're a teacher and you
wish to participate, it's not too late to apply.

Many sky watchers saw the tragic re-entry of shuttle Columbia on Saturday morning,
Feb. 1st, as it streaked across the United States en route to Florida.
If you're one of them and if you have film or video evidence that may help
NASA's investigation of Columbia's break-up, please phone the space
agency at (US) 281-483-3388 or email your report to
columbiaimages@nasa.gov. Visit http://www.nasa.gov/columbia for complete information
about Columbia and her crew.
