Mars and Stars: Overloading Our Celestial Circuits
7 p.m. to 10 p.m.
OC Parks welcomes back NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) for a series of educational public programs showcasing various missions to Mars. The second event in the series takes place at Upper Newport Bay.
JPL Solar System Ambassador John Hoot will explain how we communicate with, command, monitor, navigate and return science data from spacecraft over 100 million miles away. While we often marvel at the stunning images from the surface of Mars, Hoot will explain how that information gets here.
There will also be children’s crafts and a star presentation including stargazing with the OC Astronomers. OC Public Libraries will be hosting a space-themed storytime. Scale models of Mars rovers will be on display.
Event and parking are free to the public, reservations are required. Please call (949) 923-2290 or email unbic@ocparks.com .
