WILMINGTON, N.C. (AP) — A scientist who worked on the Mars orbiters is scheduled to speak about his work to an astronomy group.
The StarNews of Wilmington reports (http://bit.ly/RewNP1) that Dr. R. Todd Clancy speaks Sunday to the Cape Fear Astronomical Society at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Wilmington. The topic is “Roving the Surface of Mars: Past the Future.”
The public is invited.
Clancy is a senior scientist with the Space Science Institute. The Raleigh native worked on experiments for the Mars Global Surveyor and Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. Much of his research on Martian climate and atmospheric chemistry is based on work from Earth-based telescopes and the Hubble Space Telescope.
