Science Expeditions to Planetary Analogs
Description
Morrison Planetarium
Featuring Rosalba Bonaccorsi, SETI Institute & NASA Ames Research Center
The search for life on Mars and elsewhere in the solar system requires life detection technology to be tested in real environments before flight. Dr. Bonaccorsi describes field expeditions to various planetary analogs on Earth. The purpose of these is to gain scientific knowledge through a deeper understanding of the target environments, which informs how extreme and cryptic life can be discovered and studied.
