Have a Great Summer!
Thanks for using the Web system! It seems like
this system has been very successful in enhancing
our class and making the large lecture format
a bit more bearable. Although it has been a
lot of work, your usage of the system really has
made me feel like the time was well spent!
Also, don't forget to look at the summer constellations!

The discussion question for this week: New 4/15/96
This question is very relevant for the lecture on May 2!
When Jocylen Bell discovered pulsars, scientists considered the
possibility that the signal was from an extraterrestrial civilization.
There is currently a search underway to detect extraterrestrial life
using radio telescopes. If a signal is identified from an extraterrestrial
civilization, what impact would it have on society? (For the purposes
of this discussion, assume it posses no threat to the Earth.)

Send your signature to Saturn!
The NASA Cassini program has now made it possible for
you to
send your signature to Saturn! All you need to do
is send a postcard with your signature to:
Cassini Program
Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL)

Your signature will be digitized and then put on
a CDROM attached to the spacecraft.
This is absolutely free (aside from the cost of
the postcard).
