Next Lecture: "Perseverance on Mars" (March 10 at 5:00 p.m. PST)
Ken Farley, Mars 2020 Project Scientist and W.M. Keck Foundation Professor of Geochemistry at Caltech, will describe how this highly capable rover will investigate rocks deposited billions of years ago at the bottom of a large lake (long since disappeared), seeking evidence of possible martian life at that time.
