Strasenburgh Planetarium: Mars Comes Near
*The event has already taken place on this date: Sat, 09/01/2018
This summer, the “red planet” Mars shines as an almost alarmingly bright star-like light in our sky, as Earth and Mars come closer in space than any time since 2003. Meanwhile, on Mars, a 14-year-old rover is clinging to life under a dust storm and another has found organic molecules and methane gas.
Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.
We have not discovered life on Mars, but with current evidence, bacterial life at some time in the history of the planet cannot be ruled out. New probes from NASA and the European Space Agency are designed to investigate further.
See beautiful panoramas, preview Mars in the sky, and catch up on the latest discoveries in the Strasenburgh Planetarium’s new summer show. Each performance concludes with a tour of the current night sky using the Planetarium’s mighty star projector.
