UC Berkeley Events | Mars was not always red: Berkeley experts discuss Mars exploration @UCBerkeleyEvents | Uploaded 3 years ago | Updated 1 day ago
Please join us for a moderated conversation with experts from UC Berkeley to discuss the discoveries, challenges, and implications of exploring our solar system today. The recent trio of spacecraft arriving at Mars from the US, China, and the UAE has thrust the “Red Planet” into the public imagination once again. In particular, the landing of NASA's Perseverance rover reignited an exuberance for planetary exploration in millions around the world. Could life have ever existed on Mars? What have we learned from previous missions? How will this research impact science for future generations to come?
All are invited to hear from our experts, who will share their experiences with space exploration and Mars science, providing us with insights into what lies ahead. Dan Mogulof, Assistant Vice Chancellor, Public Affairs, will moderate this special conversation.
Speakers include: Manar Al Asad, Graduate Student, Earth & Planetary Science; Bill Dietrich, Professor, Earth & Planetary Science; Rob Lillis, Associate Director, Space Sciences Lab; and David Shuster, Professor, Earth & Planetary Science
