Space Geology January 25, 2012

What can the spectacular discoveries by rovers travelling the surface of Mars tell us about global
warming? What is the Moon made of, and where did it come from? What are asteroids and did one really kill all of the dinosaurs? Jupiter’s moon Europa is a smooth ball of ice; does it support liquid water and life? Derek Teasdale leads this 10 week introduction to recent discoveries about the geology of the Solar System and of the Earth. Each week you will explore a part of the Solar System and learn what it can tell us about the Earth’s origin and future.
