<p class="MsoNormal">Dear teachers,<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">This is the last opportunity for Catalistians to sign their classes up to experience sciences at ECU.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Edith Cowan University (ECU) and the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering (ATSE) invites your school to participate in an inspiring science, engineering and technology experience.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Fireballs in the Sky - Presentation by Professor Phil Bland - 2017 Eminent Speaker<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Earth sits in a cosmic shooting gallery. Phil will talk about the window that the Desert Fireball Network gives us on asteroid impacts, and how the project might change our understanding of how planetary systems form. It will look at
the journey that these rocks have taken, from their origins far beyond the orbit of Mars, to their landing sites in the Australian desert, and the excitement of searching for them in the Australian bush.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">About Phil Bland<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Phil came to Australia in 2012 on an ARC Australian Laureate Fellowship. He is on science teams for several space missions, including the NASA OSIRIS-REx asteroid sample-return mission which launched last year. His research focusses on
the origins and early evolution of the solar system. In 2006 Asteroid '1981 EW21' was renamed '(6580) Philbland' for contributions to planetary science. Most recently his work has included construction of the Desert Fireball Network - the world's largest planetary
observational facility, built to track meteorites to the ground, and recover them from desert areas of Australia. The system allows us to track meteorites back to their source regions in the solar system.<o:p></o:p></p>
