Postcards from Mars:
Three Amazing Years
with the Spirit and
Opportunity Rovers

LCLC invites you to its Author Series Presentations -- the first one of the series.

Lansing resident Jim Bell is a Professor of Astronomy at Cornell University, and is the lead scientist responsible for the rovers' color imaging system called Pancam.

In this photo-rich presentation based on his recent book called "Postcards from Mars" (Dutton/Penguin, 2006), Jim will share his favorite images and stories from "inside" mission operations, and describe the major scientific findings made by each rover at each site during their more than three Earth year (so far) adventures.
