For anyone interested in planning or attending a Vesta Fiesta event to celebrate the Dawn Mission spacecraft arrival at Asteroid 4 Vesta, here's a link to a handy how-to guide and map: http://dawn.jpl.nasa.gov/news/vesta_fiesta.asp

An idea for a Vesta Fiesta (or Vestivus for the rest of us)....

Arrange to simultaneously:

- View the latest Dawn images
- Observe the real thing through a telescope (Vesta just so happens to be at opposition in Capricorn)
- Hold a piece of Vesta in your hand (my Millbillillie crumbs should be sufficient)

I plan to do that this weekend just because I can. smile.gif
