Dr. Ken Croswell speaks about Magnificent Mars in Berkeley

Astronomer and author Ken Croswell will be speaking this Thursday night,

book Magnificent Mars is the most beautiful ever published about the red
planet, and his Berkeley talk is free and open to the public. During the
talk, he'll describe the four elements of Mars--Earth, Air, Fire, and
Water--and show most of the images from Magnificent Mars. For details, see

Dr. Croswell earned his Ph.D. in astronomy at Harvard University and is the
author of several highly acclaimed astronomy books, including The Alchemy of
the Heavens, Planet Quest, Magnificent Universe, See the Stars, and The
Universe at Midnight.

"Our little neighbor Mars will be the first New World of the century that
has just dawned. Ken Croswell has done a superb job in outlining what is
known, and what is suspected, about the next home of mankind beyond the
Moon."
--Sir Arthur C. Clarke
"A splendid survey of what we know about Mars, valuable both to the beginner
and to the expert. It is skilfully written and beautifully illustrated.
Recommended without hesitation!"
--Sir Patrick Moore

Earth? sand, rock, nothing else, unless you count the dust.

Air? Pure CO2, not something you can use to stay alive.

Fire? You've got to be joking, fire can't burn in CO2.

Water? Only as frozen ice.

and it would cost to much in gas to go there anyway.

"In this universe the night was falling,the shadows were lengthening
towards an east that would not know another dawn.
But elsewhere the stars were still young and the light of morning
lingered: and along the path he once had followed, man would one day go
again."

Arthur C. Clarke, The City & The Stars
