So those of you that want to go tomorrow night we will meet in the AME
building at 4:30pm. This should give us enough time to get the T there and
wait for tickets. I have no idea how many people will be there, but tix are
first come first served. We should be back by 9:30ish, but I really don't
know how long the talk is...

 

See you tomorrow,

Seth

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:
