It's great to see them come every year. The crew from the Community School for the Gifted get a huge gold star for helping us decorate the auditorium this year. Their artwork was displayed along the walls of the auditorium and in our camera room where we sent our questions out.
Additional kudos go to all the school groups that came today.
Speaking of Lava Dogs, I noticed that Daniel looked pretty tired. Hopefully he'll have a few days to recuperate before jumping back to school to catch up with his studies. A'a is a type of lava flow that is much cooler in temperature than it's counterpart, pahoehoe. While pahoehoe is fluid and moves much like pancake batter, a'a moves in chunks and rolls on top of itself. Since it doesn't insulate the inner flow with a protective skin like pahoehoe, a'a flows are cooler and therefore forms rock much quicker.
