JUST HOW ON EARTH CAN WE TELL WHAT MARS IS MADE OF?

Friday 16 October at 6.00pm, at the Presbyterian Community Centre, 91 Tenby Street, Wanaka.
Associate Professor James Scott, University of Otago, Geoscience Society of New Zealand President’s Lecture.
Cost – $5 per person.

Mars, fourth planet from the Sun, will be visited by three missions in February 2021. I will talk about what already known about the planet and we know it, and what is hoped to be found with the latest missions. Furthermore, although there have been no return missions from Mars, we do have Martian rocks on Earth available for study. How is this possible? I will bring some Martian rocks that people are welcome to handle.
