[AANC Contacts] Perseids and Mars this month!

[Jane Houston Jones]

Hi everyone!  This is the week of the Perseid meteor shower and the 
month of the "Mars Spectacular" email hoax and I have something to say 
about both of them!

The Perseids are the topic of my August What's Up Podcast from JPL.  
Here it is in a couple easy formats;

    * YouTube is a fast download for a lot of people - my parents like
      this format to get their JPL podcasts .  :-)  http://is.gd/2bg2K
    * Here is the main archive: http://solarsystem.nasa.gov/news/whatsup.cfm

The Mars email hoax is out there again this year, even though Mars is 
not big or bright right now - I know many of you have received it or 
answered questions about it. I was asked to write a blog for JPL about 
both the hoax and how you CAN see Mars this month!

website since 2003, which is full of facts, images and more:
