The 2015 Explore@NASAGoddard event, on Sept. 26, celebrated the 25th anniversary of the launch of the Hubble Space Telescope. Investigating everything from black holes to planets around other stars, Hubble has ushered in a new chapter of humanity’s exploration of the universe, and the venerable telescope continues to answer some of the most compelling astronomical questions of our time.
Additionally, all areas of Goddard’s research – Earth science, heliophysics, planetary science, astrophysics, and engineering and technology – were presented, as each discipline plays a critical part in NASA's ongoing journey to reach new heights, reveal the unknown and advance scientific understanding for the benefit of humankind.

..What is known (to those who choose to believe it), is that Tikticotl was bethroned in the newly dedicated temple at Tenochtitlan when a Spanish explorer-scout by the name of Francisco Diaz entered the Aztec capital. He was led to the royal chamber and laughed loudly when he beheld a mere woman in such a position of power. Through an interpreter, Diaz demanded she disclose to him the location of the copper mines. "Copper? Why copper?" Tikticotl wanted to know. Diaz, you see, did not overly aspire. Copper was good enough for him. He could make a fortune selling it to other explorers who used it to clad their hulls. "We have silver and gold, you know." "Not interested" came the reply. "Just show me the copper mines, woman."
So, Tikticotl summoned her charge and led Diaz to the mines, and hence, to his doom. For it was to the mine within the legendary City of Gold that he was led, made to supplicate before the golden altar, forced to kneel before the golden image of Quetzacoatl and there he was sacrificed before the gods. His severed head was preserved in wax and asbestos, then dipped into molten gold so that he might aspire to something greater.
What became of Tikticotl is not known. Montezuma II assumed the throne in 1502 and the mention of Tikticotl's name was made punishable by dismemberment. The golden head of Francisco Diaz remained on display in Tenochtitlan for a good many years. It was on the wall of the throne room in 1521, when Hernando de Cortes lay to waste the once mighty Aztec empire. Cortes sent the golden head back to Spain and continued searching (alas, in vain) for the City of Gold. Somehow the head made its way to the Vatican, where it was used for centuries as an ashtray.
