*January 2018*
Dear Friends,
The spring semester is underway and 2018 is going to be an exciting year
for Earth and space exploration!
In this month's newsletter we’re featuring some highlights of what our
faculty and students have been up to, as well as a preview of our spring
event line up, including the continuation of our* Open House and New
Discoveries Lecture Series
<http://click.e.asu.edu/?qs=a906618b92a6e88381a90ab8ea7a3da5806004b39a942f924f0ed7968dff18a1dbc543fb731e0a1209ebfd0155dbd7de>.

*SESE in the News*
*SESE astronomers to build space telescope to explore nearby stars*
In 2021, a spacecraft the size of a Cheerios box will carry a small
telescope into Earth orbit on an unusual mission. Its task is to monitor
the flares and sunspots of small stars to assess how habitable the space
environment is for planets orbiting them.
The spacecraft, known as the Star-Planet Activity Research CubeSat, or
SPARCS for short, is a new NASA-funded space telescope. The mission,
including spacecraft design, integration and resulting science, is led by
SESE astronomer, Evgenya Shkolnik.
"This is a mission to the borderland of astrophysics and astrobiology,"
said Shkolnik. "We're going to study the habitability and high-energy
environment around stars that we call M dwarfs."
