New "Discoveries in Planetary Science" Classroom Powerpoints Available in English, Spanish, and Farsi
The DPS Education Subcommittee announces the 6th release of "Discoveries in Planetary Science" Classroom Powerpoints, covering three new topics:
- Mercury Hollows
- Man in the Moon
- The Size of Eris
These are succinct summaries of discoveries too recent to appear in "Intro Astronomy" college textbooks; each set consists of just three slides to be shown: the discovery itself, a basic explanation based on good planetary science, and the "big picture" context.
