  NASA GRAIL twin satellites to map lunar gravity field

  The two GRAIL spacecraft are near-twins, each about the size of a washing machine, with minor differences resulting from the need for one spacecraft to follow the other as they circle the Moon. The Lunar Gravity Ranging System will measure changes in the distance between the two spacecraft down to a few microns -- about the diameter of a red blood cell. Each spacecraft will also carry a set of cameras expressly for an education project.

  Why use online CPD?

  As teachers many of us feel a need to connect to other teachers. We like to share anecdotes, look for new ideas to solve old problems, to seek advice or reassurance, for specific guidance or for resources to use with classes. We do this in the staffroom, in corridors, in departments and now many of us are starting to do it virtually using the Internet. Rob Butler explains how you can get started.
