Prepare for the launch of the Perseverance rover in July! Join experts for an overview of the Mars mission and the stars beyond.

Reaching for the Stars: NASA Science for Girl Scouts reached of 2200 girls via Girl-led webcasts for girls K – 12. Webcast moderators were Girl Scout Astronomy Club leaders. Webcasts were available to any girl, not just registered Girl Scouts.

Girls from all 50 states, Puerto Rico, Guam, Argentina, Bahamas, China, Germany, Greece, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Peru, Qatar, Singapore and United Kingdom joined.

SETI Institute NASA funded scientist, Lori Fenton; NASA Ames engineer, Lauren Abbott; and GSUSA CEO, Sylvia Acevedo, formerly a JPL engineer, were featured.

Great Space Challenge for girls was launched during the webcast. Challenge activities are both at home and virtual, a patch is available for completing the activities.

The image is divided horizontally by an undulating line between a cloudscape forming a nebula along the bottom portion and a comparatively clear upper portion. Speckled across both portions is a starfield, showing innumerable stars of many sizes. The smallest of these are small, distant, and faint points of light. The largest of these appear larger, closer, brighter, and more fully resolved with 8-point diffraction spikes. The upper portion of the image is blueish, and has wispy translucent cloud-like streaks rising from the nebula below. The orangish cloudy formation in the bottom half varies in density and ranges from translucent to opaque. The stars vary in color, the majority of which have a blue or orange hue. The cloud-like structure of the nebula contains ridges, peaks, and valleys – an appearance very similar to a mountain range. Three long diffraction spikes from the top right edge of the image suggest the presence of a large star just out of view.
