NEW ISLAND DEFIES MILLIONS OF YEARS

SURTSEY ISLAND,ICELAND...

Sturtsey Is a brand new island that formed off the coast of Iceland in 1963. It was reported in "New Scientist" in 2007 that the island featured canyons, gullies, and other land features that allegedly take millions of years to form. Similar to the regrowth of Mt. St. Helens, which saw remarkable growth in only ten plus years, Surtsey goes even further in demonstrating rocky crags, cliffs, hollows, glens, sandy beaches, lagoons, channels, and soft land fractures. The rapid formation of the island undermines old-earth assumptions that features like these take millions of years to form.

Our VIPER rover is heading to the Moon this year—and your name could be on it!

When VIPER lands at the lunar South Pole, it will roll over crater rims and explore the Moon's deep shadows for frozen water and other resources to sustain astronauts on future long-term missions. Sign up today and come along for the ride: http://www.nasa.gov/send-your-name-with-viper

A free Griffith Observatory talk will explore all sorts of solstice-y facts (if the rain allows) The afternoon event, a winter solstice tradition, will proceed if the skies clear up.

: Originally from Ethiopia, Mulatu Lemma, professor of mathematics at Savannah State University in Georgia, has been selected as the 2023 Top Professor of the Year by the International Association of Top Professionals (IAOTP). The association honors professionals worldwide based on professional accomplishments, academic achievements, leadership abilities, longevity in the field, other affiliations, and community contributions. Professor Lemma earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in mathematics from Addis Ababa University. He earned a Ph.D. in mathematics from Kent State University in Ohio. He has taught mathematics for over 30 years, including the last 28 years at Savannah State University.

The same question can apply to other professions, too. This post made me wonder as an educator.

A group of aeronautical engineering professors were invited to fly for free on a new aircraft that was just being introduced.

As the door was closing and the plane was about to take off, a voice over the intercom said, “Thank you for your confidence in taking the inaugural flight on this new aircraft. It was designed and built by all of your students over this past year.

All the professors began to unbuckle their seatbelts and make their way to the exit door of the plane, with the exception of one, who remained calmly seated with a smile on his face.

One of the professors who was standing in line to exit the plane asked him why he wasn't getting off of the plane, knowing that the plane was built by some of his recent students.

The Professor replied, “Because they are our students.”

Another professor who was standing close by asked, “So you are sure that you taught your students well enough to build this?

The sitting professor smiled and said, “No, I’m not sure, but I AM sure that it won't fly.”
