MARS INSIGHT PANEL: SPACE EXPO @ LB ComiCon (SAT)

THE EVENT:
A NASA PANEL within SPACE EXPO within LONG BEACH COMIC EXPO!

(Room separate from main expo hall. 4:10 Meet by red balloon, 4:30 Panel Discussion)

THE PEOPLE:
Join a panel of InSight scientists and engineers from the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory as they talk about their roles in the Insight mission’s operations, some of the brand new science being done on Mars, and the latest data we’re getting back from the red planet.

HEAR ABOUT:
NASA’s revolutionary new mission, NASA InSight, is a Mars lander designed to perform an in-depth study of the "inner space" of the Red Planet: its crust, mantle, and core. InSight observes marsquakes and meteorite impacts, land-tides caused by the moon Phobos, the planet’s wobble as it rotates, and heat flow from Mars’ interior. Studying Mars' interior structure and thermal state answers key questions about the early formation of rocky planets in our inner solar system more than 4 billion years ago, and it informs theories about the rocky exoplanets we keep discovering.

ABOUT SPACE EXPO:
An initiative of the Columbia Memorial Space Center, providing high-quality STEM education made accessible through a pop culture atmosphere.
