The Beaconess

Amazing connection with Sci-fiction and science once again. Curiosity, Mars rover bring us the photos of the moon's eclipse http://www.forbes.com/sites/alexknapp/2013/08/17/curiosity-catches-martian-moons-in-eclipse/?utm_campaign=techtwittersf&utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social  Fiction believed, predicted, guessed the moons were orbiting Mars before they were discovered. There is no "chicken before the egg" guess with fiction and science. Wonder how many scientists discovered something triggered by reading about a supposed thing from science fiction. Way to go Jules Vernes and so many others! Challenge our students to read!
