Nope, I didn't make up that title...it was already that cheesy! Well okay...maybe part of it...

Next Friday, September 11, our very own Dr. Jack Holt will be giving a cool talk on hot science entitled: "Icy Mysteries of Mars Revealed"!

Now, I can tell you I am definitely going to be there - what better way to get your Mars fix AND take care of getting credit for going to see a seminar/lecture (e.g. honors...) than right here at UT-Austin's Welch building?

Here's an excerpt from UT's OnCampus site on ESI's Hot Science/Cool Talks:

"Join us for an evening of Mars exploration as the Environmental Science Institute presents this talk. Dr. Holt and his scientific colleagues have discovered enormous reserves of frozen water on Mars. Could this water mean life on the red planet? What implications does this discovery hold for future voyages to Mars? Make sure to come early to experience interactive exhibits and activities presented by our partners! K-12 teacher workshop begins at 6 p.m. Free refreshments will be provided. "

Definitely arrive early because I went to a similar talk last year by Don Blankenship and it gets PACKED!

So come with the UT Planetary Science group, get free refreshments, and get ready to enjoy what should be a thoroughly entertaining talk on one of our faves!



See ya there!

UT Planetary Science Symposium

Remember that the UT Planetary Science Symposium is on Friday, October 2, so don't forget to register if you want to attend!


This symposium will mark a major point on our society's beginning and serve as a real "launching off" pad, hah! . . . if you catch my drift . . . We hope to meet and speak with those in Austin and at The University of Texas who are interested in the planetary sciences, and hopefully add more members to our society.  It will provide us with the opportunity to share our scientific interests and hear about research that is being conducted on campus and elsewhere!


The symposium will be going on all day, so drop by Avaya Auditorium in the ACES building when you can.

First Post!

Hello all,

Welcome to our student created blog for everybody who loves rocks, science, and planets!

Along with the BRAND NEW organization of our University of Texas Planetary Society (or University of Texas Planetary Geology Society, or UT Society for Planetary And Cosmic Education, or . . . well we haven't exactly decided on a name yet, but it's coming . . . promise) we have decided to begin a blog with all sorts of current and relevant information . . . ON SPACE!

The goal is to bring everyone and anyone interested in the planetary sciences exciting news about what we are doing as an organization at The University of Texas, and also really cool videos of current cosmos news.  Maybe even some Star Wars, you never know.  We love this stuff.  

It may take me a while to figure out this whole blogging thing, so bear with me!  BUT let me tell you, this is going to be awesome.  Out of this world awesome.

Cheers!
