SCIENCE BULLETINS
The Museum's Science Bulletins media program is produced by an in-house team of writers, producers, and designers in collaboration with Museum scientists to bring viewers the latest developments in the fields of astrophysics, Earth science, biodiversity, and human biology and evolution through original documentary feature stories and research update briefs. The three Science Bulletins below take a close look at water on Mars, near-Earth asteroids, and the origins of the Moon.
GEOLOGISTS ON MARS
In March 2004, two NASA explorers discovered firm evidence that water once flowed on Mars—perhaps enough water to harbor life.
IMPACT! TRACKING NEAR-EARTH ASTEROIDS
Collisions between space objects are a vital part of the evolution of our Solar System. When is Earth due for another major blast? Meet the professional and amateur astronomers who may be the first to know.
OUR MOON
The peaceful glow of the moonlight in our sky belies a violent history. Evidence suggests that the Moon formed when a Mars-sized object collided with the young Earth, and detailed computer models show us how such an impact could form our lunar companion in just one month.
