On July 31, 2008, the Phoenix Mars Mission team announced the first direct evidence for water on the desert planet Mars. In this special presentation, we will take a look at Mars, what we know about it, and what we hope to learn in the future. We will see

  • how Mars is similar to Earth, and how it is very different;
  • why water is so important to Earth, and what it might mean for Mars;
  • what finding water on Mars means about the possibility of life on Mars;
  • and other exciting topics!

I hope you can join us on September 22 at 7:30 PM.  As always, admission is $5 per adult, $3 per child under 18, and $10 for a family of 3 or more. Lambuth students, faculty, and staff are admitted free with their ID.
