Today's CASSINI Charm telecon

[Jane H Jones]

Our own Sidewalk Astronomer member, Dr. Scott Edgington is one of the 
distinguished speakers at todays Cassini CHARM telecon. CHARM is the 
clever acronym for Cassini-Huygens Analysis and Results of the 
Mission. Each month Cassini offers a 1-2 hour telecon discussing a 
current exciting Cassini science or engineering topic.  These 
telecons are offered to JPL's volunteer networks (JPL Museum 
Alliance, Solar System Ambassadors, my 400 strong amateur astronomy 
volunteer community called the Cassini Saturn Observation Campaign, 
Cassini flight team and some members of the public  and to members of 
the public who might be interested.

This month's talk is about CIRS:  The Cassini Composite Infrared 
Spectrometer: Instrument, Operations and Science.  Three Cassini CIRS 
instrument team members are part of todays presentation.

You can download the PDF here 
http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/doclib/CHARM/index.cfm , and see the 
previous telecon topics.  You'll see the awesome three-part 4th year 
Anniversary presentation which will bring you up to speed about 
Cassini, If you're interested.

PPT versions are available on a separate website for the volunteers 
to use in subsequent presentations of their own.  Audio and written 
transcripts will be on the link above in a few days after todays 
telecon.

Let me know if you have any questions or are interested in 
participating in the telecons or getting the PPT versions for 
educational or community presentations.
