There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Britney SchmidtNASA has new evidence that the most likely places to find life beyond Earth are Jupiter's moon Europa or Saturn's moon Enceladus....The Hubble Space Telescope showed a water plume erupting on the warmest part of the surface of Europa....This is the second time a plume has been observed in this exact spot, which has researchers excited that it could prove to be a feature on the surface. "This is significant, because the rest of the planet isn't easy to predict or understand, and it's happening for the second time in the warmest spot," said Britney Schmidt, second author on the Europa study. Britney Schmidt is an assistant professor in the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences.
