Shenandoah National Park Quarter

 

The second United States Mint quarter for release in 2014 is the Shenandoah National Park Quarter. This strike honors the national park in Virginia and represents the twenty-second coin from the America the Beautiful Quarters® Program. Its circulation release date is March 31, 2014.

Shown on the reverse is the view from Little Stony Man summit. Inscriptions around the scene read: SHENANDOAH, VIRGINIA, 2014 and E PLURIBUS UNUM. Phebe Hemphill designed and sculpted the image.

Shenandoah National Park Quarters found in eventual pocket change will come only from Philadelphia or Denver, the two plants responsible for striking all American coinage for commerce.

TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL 800 AM EDT THU AUG 21 2014 For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico: Shower and thunderstorm activity associated with an elongated area of low pressure located about 350 miles east of the Lesser Antilles has changed little in organization during the past several hours. Environmental conditions are expected to be conducive for development during the next day or so, and a tropical depression could form while the system moves west-northwestward at 15 to 20 mph across the Lesser Antilles and over the eastern Caribbean Sea. The mountainous terrain of Hispaniola and eastern Cuba could limit development during the first part of the weekend, but conditions are expected to become more conducive for development by early next week when the system is forecast to move near or over the Bahamas. 1. Regardless of tropical cyclone formation, gusty winds and heavy rainfall are possible across portions of the Lesser Antilles, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands tonight and Friday, and over Hispaniola late Friday and Saturday. Interests in those islands should closely monitor the progress of this disturbance. An Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft is scheduled to investigate the low this afternoon, if necessary. * Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...50 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days...high...70 percent.

Rosetta

On March 2, 2004, Rosetta was launched into an orbit that enabled it to chase Earth around the Sun for about a year.

• On March 4, 2005, Rosetta caught up with Earth and executed the first of its four gravity assists (three from Earth and one from Mars). This first gravity assist hurled Rosetta toward Mars for its meeting in 2007.
• In February 2007, Rosetta executed a close flyby of Mars, which provided the gravity assist it needed to loop back toward Earth for a second flyby in November 2007.
• In November 2007, Rosetta executed its second Earth flyby, gaining the gravity assist it needed to pass Mars' orbit and reach the asteroid belt.
• In November, 2009, Rosetta swung back for a final boost from Earth’s gravity to return again to the asteroid belt.
• In January 2014, Rosetta positioned itself next to comet C-G and is falling into the inner solar system along with it. Rosetta will "land" on the comet and take readings.
