Eugene M. Emme Astronautical Literature Award Nominations DUE TOMORROW
Nominations for the AAS Eugene E. Emme Astronautical Literature Award and the AAS Eugene E. Emme Juniors Awards are due tomorrow, April 30, 2021.

The Emme Award, named for the first NASA Historian, was created in 1982 to recognize an outstanding book serving public understanding about the impact of astronautics on society and its potential for the future. It rewards originality, scholarship, and readability. The Emme Juniors Awards were added in 2009 for books written specifically for children (K-5) and young adults (6-12). They recognize efforts to inspire and educate today’s students (and future leaders) through publications aimed at K-12 students. |
