We will be hosting a Mars special event, free and open to the public, on Friday, December 9! Please join us first at 7:30pm in the New Physics Building Room 1001, where local Mars expert, Dr. Amy Williams, will tell us some of what the Mars rovers have revealed about the Martian surface. After this special talk, come join us at the Campus Teaching Observatory to view a bigger and brighter Mars than usual! Our Public Observing Night will be from 8:30pm until 10:00pm.
