Description: |
We are in a golden age for the exploration of Mars, with the recent launch of the Curiosity Rover just the latest in a long line of missions to the Red planet. Astronomer Dr. Mike Inglis will discuss the latest findings about Mars and using the latest images and results he will discuss our current knowledge of the planet, and ask, and possibly answer, the big question - whether life ever existed on the Red Planet! Dr. Mike Inglis is a Professor of Astrophysics at Suffolk County Community College. He worked on the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) project at Princeton University, is on the Advisory Board of Montauk Observatory (MO), and is a NASA Solar System Ambassador. He has authored several books on astronomy, including Astrophysics is Easy and Astronomy of the Milky Way, Parts 1 and 2. |
