3 Why Study Mars? Search for life Mars has water, atmosphere, sunlight - could it have life? Comparison to Earth Mars may have undergone a large change in its climate Could we learn something about climate change on Earth? Curiosity and exploration Mars has the same land area as the Earth It is a complex place - not just a point of light in the night sky Image Credit: NASA/JPL
4 How Do We Approach This Problem? What do we think all life needs? Water Look for environments where water may have existed Landforms Minerals How do we do this? Orbiters Rovers Returned samples Human exploration New ways of looking Image Credit: NASA/JPL/ASU
