Life on Mars - Fermilab Lecture Series - Sept. 13
One year ago, NASA landed the one-ton rover called Curiosity on the surface of Mars as part of an ongoing series of missions to determine the viability of life. One of the most compelling discoveries so far has been the possible presence of liquid water on Mars, which leads to the next question of whether microscopic organisms could have survived, or still survive today. It also has bearing on whether there is potential for future sustainable habitation of Mars. NASA's Lead Scientist for Mars Exploration Program, Michael Meyer, will present the latest discoveries of the Mars program on Friday, Sept. 13 at 8 p.m. in Ramsey Auditorium, tickets are $7 - phone 840.ARTS or go to www.fnal.gov/culture.
