Today is Bill Nye's birthday and it's Giving Tuesday! As his gift, Bill wants to explore worlds in our solar system, find life on another world, and defend Earth from a catastrophic asteroid impact. You can help make this happen by making a gift to The Planetary Society at planetary.org/planetaryfund today. As we enter this new era of discovery, we need fellow space explorers like you to be a champion for science and space. Subscribe to our YouTube Channel: http://planet.ly/ytsubscribe Follow us!

Bill Nye discusses the value of space exploration with Planetary Scientist, Dr. Heidi Hammel and NASA Administrator, Jim Bridenstine during a Washington Post Live event.

On November 1, 2018, NASA announced that Dawn had run out of fuel. It is no longer able to point its radio antenna to Earth, so the mission has ended. The Planetary Society congratulates NASA, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and the international Dawn science mission team on an extraordinarily successful 11 years of exploration. We look forward to many years more of great science from Dawn's precious data. Thank you for making these remote parts of our cosmos more known.

In October 2018, NASA announced that the Kepler spacecraft, which revolutionized our understanding of planets orbiting other stars, reached the end of its mission. Kepler searched the skies for 9 wonderful years, discovering and confirming thousands of exoplanets. Farewell, Kepler. And from all of us at The Planetary Society, thank you and congratulations to the Kepler Mission team. "Subscribe to our YouTube Channel: http://planet.ly/ytsubscribe Follow us!

The LightSail 2 team gathered in Cal Poly San Luis Obispo on July 17 and 18 for a Mission Readiness Review (MRR) and Operational Readiness Test (ORT). The MRR is a general review to get everyone on the same page before launch, and the ORT is a dress rehearsal to simulate key mission events using a clone of the spacecraft.

In 1996, Carl Sagan recorded this audio for future astronauts who will one day walk on Mars. In 2008, Sagan's greeting to future explorers made it to the surface of Mars thanks to The Planetary Society's “Visions of Mars” mini-DVD, which is attached to the Phoenix lander. This audio of Sagan is actually on Mars, so you will see its home when whenever you look up at the bright, orange light that is the Red Planet in the night sky. ---- Subscribe to our YouTube Channel: http://planet.ly/ytsubscribe Follow us!

Taking samples of other worlds is an important step towards discovery, but it is an expensive and complex process. Honeybee Robotics and The Planetary Society teamed up to solve this problem. This is PlanetVac. Learn more: http://www.planetary.org/planetvac/ After a few prototypes, PlanetVac is ready to be tested in Mojave, CA on a Xodiac rocket made by Masten Space Systems. NASA selected PlanetVac to fly on a Xodiac rocket as part of its Flight Opportunities program. If this PlanetVac Xodiac test is successful, it will significantly increase its chance of being selected on a real space mission. PlanetVac Xodiac was supported by Planetary Society members. Over 800 people joined the team by donating. Thank you to the 887 donors from 35 countries who supported PlanetVac Xodiac in 2018. Special thanks to Pendleton Ward and Dustin Roberts who provided generous matching funds to inspire the community in support of the project.

What if we never bothered to find out? You’re not going to let that happen. You’re going to tell your representatives in Congress that you want the answers to these questions. That you want elected officials to come together and work to defend the Earth, explore other worlds, find life out there, and know the cosmos. You’re going to secure funding for more missions.

Learn more about PlanetVac, a new low-cost, reliable approach to sampling planetary surfaces: https://planet.ly/meetplanetvac Some of the biggest discoveries we make in planetary science rely on the seemingly simple act of picking up pieces of other worlds. But grabbing samples is not easy, and these kinds of missions are expensive and filled with risk.
