What's Up for October? Lots!

[Jones, Jane H]

Hi everyone, My October What's Up Podcast is all about Tricks and Treats.
Tricky objects to spy in the morning sky, balanced by celestial treats just
after sunset!

You can find my What's Up podcasts in several convenient places:

On You Tube:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QO-SbkCMMi0

Subscribe and get them on itunes (for free, of course)
http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/podcasting/whatsup_index.html

And the podcasts are also on the JPL website, right on the main page today,
along with exciting articles about Phoenix digging Mars, Cyclones at
Saturn's poles, and Spitzer sneaks a peer at Comet Holmes!

Wow!  I was blown away by each of these stories!

We are really looking forward to trying a new partnership with Mojave
National Preserve at their star party on October 25th.  It's a bit of a
drive, but the night sky from national parks, coupled by daytime exploration
of park's nature and geology is a combo that just can't be beat. We'll be
sure to snap some pix (maybe Mojo will even take some astro photos to show
you all) and perhaps we'll be invited back for another event, and some of
you will join us.
