Marvel and actor Natalie Portman have launched a mentoring competition for girls interested in science, technology, engineering and/or maths. The program links high school girls with successful women in science who can provide advice and answer their career questions. Natalie Portman has always been a vocal ambassador for the sciences - she has a degree in psychology from Harvard University and was a semifinalist in the Intel Science Talent Search. Unfortunately this competition is only open to girls in the US, but we think it's a great initiative that will hopefully inspire women AND men worldwide to pursue a career in science.

Is it a Meteoroid, Meteor or a Meteorite? It all depends on its location. If it is in space, it is a meteoroid. If it is in the Earth's atmosphere, it is a meteor.
