Guest Lecture with Dr. Varoujan Gorjian (NASA's JPL)




On May 19, 2011, Dr. Varoujan Gorjian from JPL (NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory) gave a guest lecture at Armenian Mesrobian School. He spoke to grades 3rd through 12th about the Spitzer Infrared Telescope Mission. The telescope, as he described, detects light from stars to planets that are out of reach in our universe. Furthermore, Dr. Ghorjian gave us a scoop on NASA's future missions,  like the launch of the Mars Space Rover later this year. Overall, our future Mesrobian scientists had a fun & educational experience!
