Powerful Connections
One of my favorite scenes from Stephen Spielberg's movie Lincoln captures how Euclid's Books of Logic and Geometry shaped thousands of minds including Abraham Lincoln. "Things which are equal to the same thing are equal to each other." This SELF-EVIDENT truth shaped President Lincoln which in turn shaped the future of our country and millions of lives around the world.
I believe my students saw mathematics in a new light today connecting history, logic, decision making, war and peace.
Every student should see the entire film of Lincoln.

Hubble Finds a Little Gem
This colorful bubble is a planetary nebula called NGC 6818, also known as the Little Gem Nebula. The rich glow of the cloud is just over half a light-year across — humongous compared to its tiny central star — but still a little gem on a cosmic scale. via NASA http://1.usa.gov/1MagZYQ
Stormy Seas in Sagittarius
This new NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image shows the center of the Lagoon Nebula, an object with a deceptively tranquil name, in the constellation of Sagittarius. The region is filled with intense winds from hot stars, churning funnels of gas, and energetic star formation, all embedded within an intricate haze of gas and pitch-dark dust. via NASA http://1.usa.gov/1K5cASs
Testing Hardware for Growing Plants and Vegetables in Space
Astronauts on the International Space Station continue testing the VEGGIE hardware for growing vegetables and plants in space. VEGGIE provides lighting and nutrient supply for plants in the form of a low-cost growth chamber and planting "pillows" -- helping provide nutrients for the root system. via NASA http://1.usa.gov/1W1CMqb
