Have you ever wondered what the weather is like on Mars? In this special live event, join a world-leading scientist who works on two Mars Rovers to find out. Dr. Claire Newman is a planetary atmospheric specialist who studies weather and climate on Mars. We’ll take a closer look at what recent surface missions have taught us and why NASA scientists are so curious about the red planet. She’ll be sharing weather reports from the Perseverance Rover which describe a tumultuous place of violent dust storms, desert landscapes, and wildly fluctuating temperatures. Together we’ll explore the key differences and similarities between weather on Earth and Mars, and ask whether humans will explore Mars in the near future.
