NASA ADMINISTRATOR'S THIRD SEMINAR SERIES SCHEDULED


     NASA will present "The Universe:  Now and Beyond," the 
third in a series of seminars initiated by NASA Chief 
Scientist Dr. France Anne Cordova and introduced by NASA 
Administrator Daniel S. Goldin. 	

     The seminar will be held at 3 p.m. EST March 13 in the 
NASA Headquarters auditorium, 300 E St. SW, Washington, DC.  
Dr. Linda Schele, University of Texas at Austin, Dr. Bohdan 
Paczynski, Princeton University, and Dr. Vera C. Rubin, 
Carnegie Institution of Washington, will explore why 
civilizations construct theories on the origins of the 
universe, how those cosmologies have evolved to the present 
day, and how our understanding of the universe is likely to 
evolve in the future.

     NASA's seminar series will be scheduled over the next 
year and will consider fundamental questions that bear on 
the Agency's greatest challenges.

     Media representatives who wish to cover the event with 
cameras should notify (by 1 p.m. EST on March 13) Sarah
