Hi Gail!



[http://d31hzlhk6di2h5.cloudfront.net/20190501/14/22/0a/c5/b1064c5b514ace87f7662493_786x442.jpg]<https://t.e2ma.net/click/ubmchc/6094u8/e7rlrr>

Join Us on July 15th for a Live Webcast Event to Celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Apollo 11's Historic Moon Landing!
What was the sequence of this incredible mission?
Where on the Moon did they land? And how did they return safely to Earth?
Join us for a guided recreation of Apollo 11’s journey to see how this mission was executed by crew members and mission control in Houston.
This live webcast is brought to you by the American Museum of Natural History<https://t.e2ma.net/click/ubmchc/6094u8/uzslrr> and the STAR Library Network’s NASA@ My Library program.

Video: Tonight's Sky - May 2019
Provided by the Space Telescope Science Institute<https://t.e2ma.net/click/ubmchc/6094u8/ef6lrr>
In May, we are looking away from the crowded, dusty plane of our own galaxy—toward a region where the sky is brimming with distant galaxies. Locate Virgo to find a concentration of roughly 2,000 galaxies—and search for Coma Berenices to identify many more. Keep watching for space-based views of the galaxies, including the Sombrero Galaxy, M87, and M64.

Connected Science Learning
This month, CSL (Issue 10, Part 1) begins its focus on Serving Youth With Special Needs. Read about an environmental science activity in which general education students work alongside students with special needs to collect data on the health of a local stream. Discover the American Museum of Natural History's program, "Advances in Geosciences", which enhances out-of-school education for new teachers and their students. And don't miss the article "Youth With Disabilities" for practical tips on engaging all students in science.
