Fourth Grade students of Bozeman's Emily Dickinson Elementary School were honored with choosing the first photos to be released from the two satilites, Ebb and Flow, orbiting the moon. The students won this honor by submitting the winning names, Ebb and Flow, for the two satellites in a national contest. The photo they chose gives a great depiction of the far side of the moon along with Earth just
Photos of the Earth taken from space are nothing new, but you’ve never seen the planet like this before, guaranteed. Dubbed “Blue Marble,” this NASA photo is a staggering 64-megapixels with an 8000 x 8000 resolution.

In September of 2011 two space crafts were sent up to orbit and document the Moon's surface. NASA held a national competition to collect name submissions for the two Moon Crafts and Nina DiMauro's Fourth Grade Class at Emily Dickinson Elementary in Bozeman won with the names 'Ebb' and 'Flow'.
NASA revealed yesterday that its Kepler Mission has confirmed the existence of a habitable planet. The planet is 2.4 times the size of Earth and it orbits its star at a distance that would allow liquid water. The planet is named Kepler-22b.
