China is planning a possible mission to Enceladus.<\/strong> China\u2019s Deep Space Exploration Laboratory and the Shanghai Institute of Satellite Engineering have proposed an orbiter and lander mission to explore Saturn\u2019s icy moon Enceladus, aiming to examine its potential habitability. Learn more about the mission and how it fits into China\u2019s planetary science ambitions. Pictured: A view of Enceladus from NASA\u2019s Cassini spacecraft.

Kielan Hoch and Emily Rickman from the Space Telescope Science Institute join this week\u2019s Planetary Radio to talk about surprising new observations from JWST of a dusty circumplanetary disk around one of the system\u2019s planets and high-altitude silicate clouds in the atmosphere of another.<\/p>\n Exploring the Overview Effect with Frank White.<\/strong> The latest episode of the new monthly Planetary Radio: Book Club Edition invites you into a conversation with author Frank White, whose book \u201cThe Overview Effect\u201d explores the life-changing perspective shift that many astronauts report experiencing after seeing Earth from above.<\/p>\n Next up in the member community: Planetary People with Dave Doody.<\/strong> This event series features people who embody The Planetary Society\u2019s mission. This time, we\u2019re joined by Dave Doody, a longtime JPL engineer who has been a key team member on many planetary science missions, including Cassini and Europa Clipper. He\u2019ll join Planetary Society members in our online member community on Aug. 26 to talk about his work, his perspectives on space exploration, and his longtime involvement with the Society.
