Today's riddle: What did the tree say when Spring arrived? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• PCC loses power in a campus wide outage (pcccourier.com) — Pasadena City College's Colorado campus lost power early Thursday afternoon, briefly trapping students in elevators, triggering alarms, and forcing cancellation of all afternoon classes while Pasadena Water and Power crews worked on-site. Power was restored by 2:08 p.m., with evening classes after 5 p.m. resuming, but students and staff still faced gridlocked parking lots and lingering questions about whether ongoing campus construction could cause future outages.
• First Arrival at NASA's Rover Operations Center in Pasadena (lifetechnology.com) — Before most of Pasadena is awake, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in town is already buzzing as engineers arrive at the Rover Operations Center to guide missions on other worlds. This behind-the-scenes snapshot highlights the early-morning routines, high-tech environment, and global reach of work happening daily at JPL's Pasadena campus.
• Mars rovers give scientists a ground-level view of the red planet – peek inside their NASA control room (nhregister.com) — Right here in Pasadena at JPL's Rover Operations Center, scientists like Curiosity project scientist Ashwin Vasavada spend intense seven-hour shifts turning fresh Mars data into the rover's next moves. The piece walks you through a typical day in that Pasadena control room, from analyzing rocks in Gale Crater to carefully planning weekend drives on the red planet.
