Presentation: July 2013

This month's AE presenter: Jeff
Date of presentation: 15-July-2013 (or possibly 22-July)
Subject: The GRAIL Mission: Update
Description: This presentation (originally intended to be given in June) gave a brief update on discoveries made by NASA's GRAIL mission, including gravity field maps of the moon and scientific conjecture that could be made based on the data generated by the mission, such as partial confirmation that samples returned by the Apollo astronauts in the 1970s are indeed indicative of global processes.

Also presented this same evening: a series of photographs taken by workers involved in the process of cleaning up after and documenting the Asiana crash at SFO back in early July.
