Mars, our neighboring planet, is both a familiar and alien world that has intrigued us for eons. Join us for an exploration of its landscape, history, and mysteries that today’s scientists are trying to solve. We’ll review the history of global missions to Mars—landers, flybys, orbiters and rovers—and learn how to locate Mars in our own night sky.
