The Lunar and Planetary Institute (LPI) invites inquisitive adults interested in current topics in space science and exploration to join us for the next Cosmic Exploration Speaker Series presentation “Lunar Swirls: You don’t know what you’re missing (and neither do they)” given by Dr. Georgiana Kramer. The presentation will be held on Thursday, February 2, 2017 at 7:30 p.m. at the Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston, TX.
Cosmic Exploration Speaker Series features some of the hottest topics in our solar system and beyond with the scientists who are making the discoveries. Dr. Kramer studies the chemistry and mineralogy of the Moon, asteroids, and other planetary surfaces through remote sensing data analysis.
The 2016–2017 series, “Mercury to Mars: LPI explores the Solar System” encompasses all the rocky planets, the Earth's Moon, asteroids and beyond. The series features LPI scientists discussing their research and how their work supports NASA's solar system science and exploration efforts.
