New Minor in Planetary Science

With great pleasure we announce the new Planetary Science Minor.  This joins the MA Concentration in Planetary Science and the Planetary Science Course Cluster as curricula providing students the background and tools to understand our place in the cosmos.  Our view is changing rapidly, to wit, at 3:35 tomorrow morning (Wed.), we (humanity) will attempt to land on the surface of a comet (http://www.esa.int/Our_Activities/Space_Science/Rosetta).
