[A GRANDE CONJUNÇÃO]
Júpiter e Saturno são dois gigantes gasosos e os maiores planetas do nosso Sistema Solar. Vistos da Terra a olho nu, os planetas se assemelham à estrelas: Júpiter muito brilhante (mais que a maioria das estrelas) e Saturno um pouco mais fraco. +

Você conhece todos os planetas anões do Sistema Solar? Nessa thread a @camoes_ailuj conta um pouquinho sobre cada um deles pra gente :)
Do you know all Dwarf Planets from the Solar System? In this thread, @camoes_ailuj tells us a little about it for us :)

We are working to help @AdAstraScience students and community partners struggling to eat during this crisis. A mother from City of God (Brazil) is working to deliver food baskets directly to the students' homes. Please help if you can:

Our @AdAstraScience team has the privilege of working with the INPAR school in Rio de Janeiro. Quarantines are taking an economic toll, and these amazing students and their families need food and hygiene materials. Please consider donating if you can!

Next edition of #CAPjournal will focus on #Astronomy #Outreach for Development, exploring how the global community is leveraging outreach to create sustainable, positive impact. The #Astro4Dev community is bigger than the OAD & we are excited to be sharing some of these stories

@Astro4Dev has been essential to our work in Brazil. Thanks for the support as we build on this exciting data set and continue to inspire future scientists!
Publication by @AdAstraScience "Using #Space Exploration to Promote #Student #Learning and Motivation". The paper presents initial gains based on data from the workshops in #Brazil. The project has been supported twice by the OAD. #astronomy

Ad Astra Academy dia 2: fizemos a experiência de mesa de fluxo, mostrando os caminhos demarcados pela água quando escorre. Assim, reproduzimos as evidências que vemos atualmente em Marte, de que o planeta já teve água em sua superfície @AdAstraScience

Looking for a hands-on, out-of-this-world way to teach the engineering design process? Check out "Build a Satellite" from @NASAJPL_Edu. Challenge your students to design, build, test & improve a model satellite using common household items. jpl.nasa.gov/edu/teach/activ…

Thoughts from @ewarren on the transformational power of teaching and learning:
"That flash, that spark, that I went from not knowing to knowing. It happens in their face, and it happens then in my heart, instantly. My brain. It’s enormously intimate."

Our @AdAstraScience students from the City of God, Rio de Janeiro, found some of these "recurring slope lineae" when they requested images from the @HiRISE team a few years ago: uahirise.org/ESP_043797_2070 @LifeNspace @astrowlad

Exciting news - this year, we’ll be continuing our academy in Brazil and starting up a new one in Nigeria! Can’t wait to work with our growing global network of awesome students and scientists! 🇧🇷 🇳🇬
Thanks to @InsideNatGeo and @theAGU for helping to make it all happen!

"Education must enable one to sift and weigh evidence, to discern the true from the false, the real from the unreal, and the facts from the fiction. The function of education, therefore, is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically."—Martin Luther King Jr. #MLKDay

In mere hours, the documentary "Mars Academy", featuring our @AdAstraScience work in Brazil, will premiere at the Borrego Springs Film Festival. I was a producer on the project, but let's be real: the amazing @Hankle did all the real work :)
