NASA and GLOBE are conducting a worldwide experiment on October 14th and 15th, 2004 (Thursday and Friday of Earth Science Week). Everyone interested in helping develop a better understanding of the Earth is invited to join. NASA works with GLOBE to help achieve its mission of inspiring the next generation of explorers. Participants will observe contrails, clouds formed from water vapor in aircraft exhaust, and report their findings to scientists. Observations will be tallied and reported state-by-state and country-by-country to illuminate any patterns of contrail activity. More...
