Some Space Related Reasons to Look Up

I get wound up in activities here and am reminded by you folks to look up. :-)

Maurizio sent me a note with some interesting links, see below.
Its focus is on "Planetary Science".

If you subscribe to NASA Science News you probably got this bit about NASA's SPoRT program.

The first astronauts to walk on the moon in the 1960s and 1970s were inundated by sticky lunar dust that clung to their spacesuits whenever they ventured outside.
