Other planetary sessions being organized include results of the SL9 impact on Jupiter (convener, V. Meadows); inner planets (convener, J. G. Luhmann) Venus tectonics (convener, R. J. Phillips) and Australian impact craters (convener, L. Hamilton). For more information see URL http://igpp.ucla.edu/spa/activities/meetings/ wpgm96.html on the World Wide Web or send an email message to ctrussell@igpp.ucla.edu. Abstract deadline is March 15, 1996 at AGU Headquarters, 2000 Florida Ave. N.W., Washington, DC 20009. GALILEO NEWS Not much new to report, except that the probe data began playing back on Saturday, a day earlier than originally planned. I think the download has now been suspended for solar conjunction, but a sizable fraction of the total data set is now on the ground, and details will be revealed at next week's press conference. Check out the probe Web site, http://ccf.arc.nasa.gov/galileo_probe, for more details.
