Discover our future plans for exploring "Earth's Twin," Venus
Americas first planetary probe, Mariner 2, marked our first visit to Venus in 1962. As it flew by Venus, the probe measured the planets atmosphere, giving us insights into its composition and temperature extremes. What are our future plans for Earths Twin, Venus? Join Sara Seager, professor at MIT, and Bruce Campbell, a planetary scientist in the Museum's Center for Earth and Planetary Studies, as they discuss our future plans to send a private mission to our inner neighbor and what new questions we bring with us on this trip.
The Exploring Space Lecture is free; tickets are required and may be reserved online.
