In February 2021, NASA’s Perseverance Rover will touch down in Jezero Crater—but planetary scientists will have to wait another decade for samples to be returned from the Red Planet! Join us for this Friday’s “Cosmic Conversation” with Dr. J.R. Skok of the SETI Institute—at 11:30 a.m. Pacific here on Facebook Live! We’ll discuss why NASA chose Jezero to be the best place on Mars to look for life and learn about the geologic wonders the region has to explore. J.R. has been working on NASA’s rover missions since he was a student in 2004 and was actively involved in the Landing Site Workshops that led to the selection of Jezero.
