Hi All-
I don't know how many of you got this email, but it sounds really
interesting. I know it's during finals week, but this would be a good break
from studying! We would have to be at the museum at around 5:30 to get
tickets, but the event starts at 7pm. If you would like to go please email
me (scohen84@xxxxxx) and I'll try to get a place/time together to meet for
everyone.

Subject: Special Invitation to Attend Mars Lecture in Boston
The Planetary Society would like to invite you to attend a talk about the
Mars Exploration Rovers on Wednesday, May 3, 2006 at the Boston Museum of
Science. The speaker will be Cornell University Astronomy professor and
Planetary Society board member Dr. Jim Bell.
Dr. Bell's talk is entitled "Postcards from Mars: The (endless?) Adventures
of the Spirit and Opportunity Rovers." NASA successfully landed twin
rovers, Spirit and Opportunity, on Mars in January 2004, in the most
ambitious mission of robotic exploration ever attempted. Each rover is
outfitted as a robot field geologist with an impressive array of scientific
instruments -- cameras, spectrometers, and other sensors -- designed to
investigate the composition and geologic history of two distinctly different
landing sites. The sites were chosen because of their potential to reveal
clues about the past history of water and climate on Mars, and thus to
provide tests of the hypothesis that the planet may once have been an abode
for life.
Jim Bell is the lead scientist responsible for the rovers' color imaging
system called Pancam. In this presentation, Professor Bell will share his
favorite images and stories from "inside" mission operations, and describe
the major scientific findings made by each rover at each site during their
adventures over more than two Earth years.
This free lecture will be held on
Wednesday, May 3, 2006, 7:00 p.m.
in the Cahners Theater,
Boston Museum of Science,
Museum of Science, Science Park,
Boston, Massachusetts
General admission tickets are available on a first come, first served basis
in the Museum of Science Main Lobby (Lowell Lecture ticket table), starting
at 5:45 p.m. on May 3rd. For further information and directions to the
Boston Museum of Science, please check at:
