[AANC Contacts] Around the world in 80 telescopes, What's Up for April

[Jones, Jane H]

For those of you who would like to go back and view some of the "Around the
world in 80 telescopes" segments, the 100 Hours of Astronomy website
conveniently has links to each telescope feature in a separate Ustream
segment.  http://www.100hoursofastronomy.org/ easy for viewing later.

Just around "my" corner,  Caltech is projecting the show on the outside
walls of the new astronomy building all day today! 1216 California Boulevard
in Pasadena.  :-)

JPL's website has great coverage too -- right on the main page:

And speaking of telescopes, 4 orbiting telescopes are featured in this
months new What's Up Podcast. The topic is NASA's IYA observing object of
the month:The Whirlpool Galaxy. http://solarsystem.nasa.gov/news/whatsup.cfm

And you can locate many of the Apollo landing areas using this nice map:

And you can imagine that little golden Saturnian dot in the sky looks like
