SATURN! SPECIAL MISSION COVERAGE
Cassini-Huygens' grand adventure begins...
The Cassini orbiter and the Huygens probe are now
exploring the magnificent and mysterious planet Saturn,
its emblematic rings and its extended family of at
least 31 moons. Together they comprise the
most complex and ambitious mission ever sent to
another world.
There is no doubt that, over the next several years,
we will be continually surprised, dumbfounded and
delighted with the discoveries they will radio back
to us on Earth.

SEARCH FOR EXTRATERRESTRIAL INTELLIGENCE
ET WHERE ARE YOU?
SETI SYMPOSIUM 2004 - THIS SUMMER AT HARVARD
Almost every one of us has looked up at the endless
night sky and wondered, "Are we alone?" and, after
pondering this profound question for a few minutes,
went on our way. But some scientists
(dreamers?, visionaries?, philosophers?) are dedicated
to finding an answer to the question.
This summer The Planetary Society invites you to spend
a day with an outstanding gathering of SETI experts
and research scientists.
Hear the latest news...
Ask questions...
Meet the experts...

INTERNATIONAL LUNAR MEETING IN BEIJING
The Planetary Society organized a special international
lunar session on May 28, 2004 as part of the United
Nations/European Space Agency (UN/ESA) Basic Space
Sciences Workshop in Beijing, China. Representatives
and specialists from the space agencies of the United
States, China, Europe, Japan, and India discussed ongoing
and planned lunar missions in the context of
planetary exploration.

The Planetary Society continues our mission to seek
international cooperation among spacefaring nations.

PLANETARY RADIO ADDS MP3 FORMAT
You can now listen to Planetary Radio as either a
Windows Media Audio file or an mp3 file. The mp3 file
is somewhat larger but should sound better. Feel free
to download either version to your portable
player and take us with you!
Haven't heard Planetary Radio yet?
Each week, Planetary Radio visits with a scientist,
engineer, project manager, advocate or writer who can
provide a unique perspective on the quest for knowledge
about our solar system and beyond. We also showcase
regular features that raise your space IQ while they
put a smile on your face.
This month on Planetary Radio we talked with:
David Anderson, Project director for the SETI @Home
project; Scientist Phil Christensen on why Endurance
Crater on Mars looks so promising; and Charley
Kohlhase, the Cassini Mission Designer.
Planetary Radio -- give us 30 minutes, we'll give
you the Universe!

SETI @HOME TURNS FIVE
Five years after The Planetary Society helped launch
SETI@home, the search for extraterrestrial intelligence
that utilizes a distributed computer system, the project
now operates as the most powerful computer on Earth and
has racked up an impressive list of accomplishments:
-- Nearly 5 million participants in 226 countries
-- Nearly 2 million CPU (Computer Processing Units) years of work
-- Over 1.3 billion results received
We thank our Members and supporters for their continued
support of this project. This is a tremendous
accomplishment.
