NASA Ambassador Talks About Mars

MARS: PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE Mars has been studied via spacecraft over the past 60 years, giving scientists a better understanding of the planet and its history. However, we have yet to discover life on Mars. What are the chances there was life there in the past? And is it possible to find evidence of past life, such as fossils? Join our talk with NASA Ambassador Charity Southworth on what Mars was like billions of years ago, highlighting discoveries made via space missions and what the future of Mars missions may look like.   RSVP by emailing us at tiltonlibrary@cwmars.org to get the zoom link.   This program is sponsored in part by Science Friday, a Tilton Library partner, in relation to the Spring 2022 SciFri Book Club title Sirens of Mars.
