| Hello all members and friends of the Seattle Astronomical Society. Here is the latest announcement on our BANQUET for 2010. | |
| Speaker |
Dr. Joshua Bandfield Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Earth and Space Sciences at the University of Washington (link) Surface shapes and patterns on Mars: A tour of alien landscapes The surfaces of planets are shaped by the actions of wind, ice, water, tectonics, impacts, and volcanism. These basic processes are responsible for carving desert landscapes of stark beauty on Mars. Images returned from spacecraft including the 2001 Mars Odyssey, Mars Exploration Rovers, and Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter have documented these terrains at millimeter to planetary scales. These images have led to surprising discoveries as well as new and controversial hypotheses about martian history. |
