As planned since the start of the mission, one of our pathfinder Earth satellites will be powered off on March 30. During its 17 years of service, the Earth Observing (EO-1) satellite tested cutting-edge technologies that were incorporated into subsequent missions. Find out more: http://go.nasa.gov/2mFlEsO

Exciting Celestial Show - Moon and the Five Visible Planets Grace the Night Sky
Brilliant Venus is racing toward its inferior conjunction on March 25. Watch its crescent get thinner and thinner as the planet's size appears larger and larger, because it is getting closer to Earth.
During the final week of March catch the planet Mercury low above the western horizon. Try to glimpse the small planet before it disappears from view.
On March 29th use the waxing crescent moon to find the planets Mercury and Mars.
Once you see the moon, no matter where you live, let it guide you search for the two starlike objects in the moon’s vicinity, Mercury and Mars. You may need binoculars to spot Mercury.
In the late evening, watch for Jupiter rising in the east.
A telescope will reveal the gas planet’s dark cloud bands. A large telescope might reveal the Great Red Spot.
Near Jupiter you can see Spica, the brightest star in the constellation Virgo the Maiden.
Jupiter will be visible all month long from late evening until dawn.
Saturn appears in the southeast in the pre-dawn hours.
Use a telescope to spy its famous rings.
Clear Skies!

Earth from Space: Mount Etna Lava Flow, March 16th, 2017
In this composite image you can see the a lava flow on the Mount Etna Volcano, Sicily, Italy, imaged by the Multi-Spectral Instrument (MSI) aboard the Sentinel-2A satellite. The images were taken March 16th, 2017.
The image is showing an infrared view of the recent lava flow on Mount Etna (https://goo.gl/Xv9cGa), an active stratovolcano on the east coast of Sicily, Italy. Make sure to watch the video with the alternating view linked below.
A video showing an alternate natural color/infrared view is available here on YouTube and Flickr:

Former Democratic National Committee Chairwoman #DonnaBrazile admitted Friday in an op-ed for Time magazine that she sent failed presidential candidate #HillaryClinton’s campaign debate questions.
Stolen #DNC documents that were published by #Wikileaks during the 2016 U.S. election season revealed Ms. Brazile’s efforts to assist Ms. Clinton’s campaign, but she ignored or denied the charges — until now.
Although she told ex-Fox News star Megyn Kelly on Oct. 19 that Wikileaks dealt in “doctored” emails, the former DNC head said Friday that the emails were “a mistake I will forever regret.”
