Latest Findings from NASA's Curiosity Mars Rover Mission - Fall 2015

Explore the latest findings from NASA's Curiosity Mars rover mission in this 42-minute press conference from the AGU Fall Meeting 2015. Delve into the discoveries made on the lower slope of Mount Sharp (Aeolis Mons), where rocks highly enriched in silica contrast with compositions found on surrounding plains. Compare these findings to other silica-rich sites on Mars, such as those investigated by NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Spirit, to gain insights into changes in ancient wet environments. Join project scientist Ashwin Vasavada and Curiosity science team members Liz Rampe, Albert Yen, and Jens Frydenvang as they discuss the implications of these discoveries for understanding Mars' geological history and past potential for habitability.
