TECH TIP: NASA Image and Video Library
NASA recently announced the release of a searchable library of image, video and sounds from its many missions. There are over 140,000 items in the collection. When I searched for Mars, found this incredible image from the Mars Rover:
This could be a great resource to use in science classes or use the images as story starters for writing projects. Worth checking out!
BOOK TIP: Space Books
In keeping with the space theme this week, here two of my favorite space books in the MMRHS library collection.
Rocket Boys by Homer Hickham. This memoir inspired the film October Sky. Two young men from a West Virginia coal mining town go on to develop rockets despite many odds.
Blue Marble: How a Photograph Revealed Earth's Fragile Beauty by Don Nardo. The astronauts of Apollo 17 took this image of Earth, revealing the Earth as a floating ball in an inky black sea. It went on to become one of the most reproduced images ever. This is it's story and the impact it had on the way we view our planet.
