It’s the first Friday in May; therefore it must be Space Day! Since 1997 people around the world have used this day to celebrate humankind’s accomplishments in our exploration of space, as well as recognizing the benefits and opportunities that space exploration provides. While anyone can celebrate this occasion, the main goal of Space Day is to “promote math, science, technology and engineering education by nurturing young peoples' enthusiasm for the wonders of the universe and inspiring them to continue the stellar work of today's space explorers.” So, if you can, spend some time today talking about space and astronomy with a young person. Even better: do a space-related activity together….
PS: This year Space Day was on Friday May 2nd. I was 4got and just realized today, so Happy Space Day!!!
