Students across the United States will get to ask scientists at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., questions about the rings of Saturn, and the moons Titan and Tethys -- all targets for the students who participated in the Cassini Scientist for a Day essay contest.
The questions will be answered during a live event that will air on the "NASAJPL" channel available on Ustream TV at:
http://www.ustream.tv/channel/nasajpl on Tuesday, Oct. 20, beginning at 3 p.m. EDT. This program will also be archived for later viewing.

With data collection for the bi-annual Scientist for a Day outreach activity, the spacecraft obtained images of three possible targets, Saturn and the rings, Tethys with Saturn's rings, and Titan. The data will be returned to Earth on the next downlink. After reviewing essays submitted by participating students, winners will be selected and the results presented at a live teleconference on Oct. 20.
