SEE EVENT DETAILS
Piecing Together Mars: From Discovery and Surprise Toward Understanding a Sister World
Join two renowned astronomers as they take you on an authentic visual journey across the surface of Mars — based on real data transmitted from instruments located in orbit around the planet and reconstructed on the dome of Morrison Planetarium. You will experience real perspectives never before seen on Earth.
From ancient times through the telescopic era, the blood red planet Mars has puzzled observers with its color, seasonal features and variability—even inspiring the idea that alien engineers shaped its surface! Mars possesses some of the most dramatic landscapes in our solar system with the largest volcanoes and canyons ever seen.
Featuring Carter Emmart, Director of Astrovisualization, American Museum of Natural History and Jeff Moore, Planetary Geologist, NASA-Ames Research Center.
