Three new national polls (not including this morning's EKOS) and a stunning 10 new riding polls have been added to the projection.

Time again for my monthly look at what's going on with the robots exploring the solar system! The highlight of this month will, I think, be Dawn's first optical navigation images of its first target, Vesta. For this month Dawn will still be too far away to see Vesta any better than Hubble has, but those few pixels of slowly brightening light represent the first trickle in what will be a flood of data from the first really big asteroid to be visited by a spacecraft. Also, for those of you who are early risers, there will be a beautiful assembly of planets in the predawn skies: Mercury, Mars, Venus, and Jupiter will be super-close to each other, with a crescent Moon joining them on May 1. For most of the other missions on my list it will be business as usual, whether business is charging across a Martian plain toward distant mountains or swooping around a giant planet to watch storms dropping methane rain and geysers spewing ice crystals into the vacuum of space!
