<description><![CDATA[Lawford Anderson, a College of Arts & Sciences professor of Earth and environment, has always had a deep love for geology. For 50 years, he’s been instilling his passion and excitement for rocks in the students in his Earth’s Rocky Materials class, first at the University of Southern California, and since 2011, here at Boston University. 

The class offers a deep dive into the history and evolution of Earth’s materials and how those materials go on to become the rocks surrounding us in our everyday lives. Students get a chance to learn a great deal about rocks, from how to identify them to how to analyze their age. 

"Students learn empowerment, that they can discover the story of each rock and tell that story," Anderson says. "Every rock has a story, but the rock can’t tell its story. Our students can tell that story."]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[On Sunday, March 2, at 2:30 am, a team of researchers gathered in a lab in Boston University’s College of Engineering. It was a moment they had anticipated for years: a BU-developed telescope, called the Lunar Environment heliospheric X-ray Imager (LEXI), was moments from touching down on the surface of the moon. The telescope is attached to NASA’s Blue Ghost Mission 1 spacecraft, which blasted off from Florida on January 15. 

As the lunar lander got closer and closer to the surface, lead LEXI scientist Brian Walsh, an ENG associate professor of mechanical engineering, read the craft’s elevation above the moon surface aloud to the room of a dozen team members. NASA’s live broadcast of the landing was on a screen in the background. When the elevation reached zero, the room quieted.

Then, a voice from Blue Ghost’s central communications team announced that the spacecraft had successfully landed on the moon. Walsh and the whole team clapped and cheered. 

“The team is thrilled to reach this milestone,” says Walsh (GRS’09,’12). 

After a quick celebration, they were back to business.]]></description>
