Participants welcome at individual sessions (series)
The month of January will be an exciting time in the exploration of Mars. EAPS is sponsoring a series of noontime lectures that will highlight different aspects of its geology and environment. The Spirit and Opportunity rovers will land on the planet Jan. 4 and Jan 25, and we are hoping to bookend the series with live commentary on the missions as broadcast on NASA tv. Please see the EAPS home page for the most current information.
