MUSEUMS

Mars!
November 8, 2008-December 31, 2009
The Arizona Museum of Natural History has opened an exciting new exhibition based upon the spectacular new discoveries about the red planet, Mars. With the recent wave of satellite exploration around Mars and landers and rovers on the surface of the planet, knowledge of Mars is greatly increasing. Much of that research is taking place right here in Arizona.
The exhibit includes a full size Mars Rover, quarter-scale Mars Lander, dune machine showing how are dunes created on Mars, scale showing weights on Mars, dust devil generator, and pole reversal demonstration.
Mars is in some respects a fossil planet. It now lacks the movement of great portions of its crust that continually reworks the surface of the Earth. This provides a view of Mars billions of years in the past at a resolution impossible on Earth. Mars was once far more like Earth, and today's Mars may provide some idea of what lies ahead for the Earth of tomorrow. The exhibition examines the methodology and technology for determining whether there is or was life on Mars.
