Touch Tomorrow, a festival of science, technology, and robots, will be held at the campus of Worcester Polytechnic Institute, June 14, 2014. The program gives students and their families a hands-on approach to the world of robotics. Some of the highlights:

Check out some of NASA’s favorite exhibits including the famous MARCBot Rover, Be-a-Bot 2.0, and the Mark III Suit.
Check out the inflatable Curiosity model – it’s life-sized!
Get run over by the Roll-Over-Rover… this lightweight rover has 8 wheels and rolls right over kids (in a fun way, of course).
Experience NASA’s Lunar Quest, a simulated trek across the moon’s surface using satellite imagery—and while you’re there, walk on the moon, the Lunarscape floor, that is.
Swamp Works - displays of regolith hour glasses; RPM water imager and RASSOR composite.
Watch what happens to Peeps inside a real vacuum chamber. You won’t believe your eyes!

'Godzilla of Earths' Alien Planet 17 Times Heavier Than Earth Discovered

By Miriam Kramer, Space.com
BOSTON — Scientists have just discovered the "Godzilla of Earths" — a new type of huge and rocky alien world about 560 light-years from Earth.
Dubbed a "mega-Earth," the exoplanet Kepler-10c weighs 17 times as much as Earth and it circles a sunlike star in the constellation Draco. The mega-Earth is rocky and also bigger than "super-Earths," which are a class of planets that are slightly bigger than Earth.
The mega-Earth orbits its parent star once every 45 days. Kepler-10c is probably too close to its star to be hospitable to life, and it isn't the only orbiting the yellow star. Kepler-10 also plays host to a "lava world" called Kepler-10b that is three times the mass of Earth and speeds around its star in a 20-hour orbit.
