Applications for the Cassini Scientist for a Day Contest are Due Nov. 15

The Cassini Scientist for a Day contest challenges students to be a NASA scientist studying Saturn. Participants are challenged to examine four target images taken by Cassini and choose the one that they think will yield the best scientific results. This choice must then be explained in a 500-word essay.

The contest is open to all students in the U.S. from grade 5 to 12, working alone or in groups of up to four students. The essays will be divided into two groups: grades 5-8 and grades 9-12. All submissions must be students' original work. Each student can submit only one entry.

Deadline for submission is Nov. 15, 2007. For more information, visit:  http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/education/scientist/
