Spirit and Opportunity: Our Eyes and Ears on Mars November 20, 2010

As our winter sets in, we'll take a look at the cold, Red Planet, Mars. We'll get the latest updates from those favorite Mars Rovers, Spirit and Opportunity, whose 90-day mission extended to more than seven years, and counting! We'll see the amazing views they have seen on their long journey, see their profound evidence for past water on Mars, and share in the heartbreak of Spirit's encounter with Troy. We'll also show a quick planetarium show, and we'll see what's up in our night sky.All NASA/JPL Solar System Ambassador events are free, open to the public and family-friendly and suitable for ages 12 and up. There will also be free NASA handouts, posters and lithographs for everyone who attends.If this program whets your appetitie to try some nighttime planet gazing, don't miss the Saturday evening Inwood Astronomy Programs . We provide telescopes for your use.
