The Galileo project has named 55 new ambassadors and co-ambassadors to educate the public in communities across America about the Galileo Europa mission's current journey around Jupiter and its moons. The mission's main focus is on the moon Europa, which may have a liquid water ocean beneath its icy crust. The addition of the new graduates, who span the country from northeast Maine to Hawaii, brings the total number of Galileo ambassadors to 84. Each ambassador has proposed at least five community events, such as planetarium shows, museum displays and programs for Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts. The ambassadors, primarily K-12 educators, join the recently appointed Galileo Fellows, who instruct other teachers in spreading the word about the Galileo mission. A state-by-state listing of ambassadors, hometowns, contact information and a calendar of ambassador-hosted events can be found on the Internet at http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/ambassador
