Mars Attacks!

[planetarium]

FYI: A lecture coming up at the Newark Museum in Newark, NJ next Thursday:<br /><br />Mars Attacks!<br />Dr. Phil Plait<br />Thursday, April 28, 6:30 p.m.<br />Tickets $12.00 (Members $10.00)<br /><br />Myths and legends about the Red Planet have been around us for as long as people have looked at the stars. Recently these myths have taken a decidedly alien turn, with claims about a Face on Mars, cities, and even a mass transit system! Astronomer Dr. Phil Plait (author of Bad Astronomy and creator of the popular website Badastronomy.com) will discuss these myths and, using his trademark blend of science and humor, show just why they are wrong.<br /><br />For tickets, call 973-596-6563.<br /><br />http://www.newarkmuseum.org/planetarium/pages/exhibit.htm#mars<br />
