Session Description:
NASA recently selected Jezero Crater as the landing site for its upcoming Mars 2020 mission to the Red Planet. Why is Jezero, a 28-mile-wide ancient lake-delta system, the best place for Mars 2020 to find and collect promising samples for a possible future return to Earth? This workshop will look at this potential Martian Eden, its violent past, its planetary evolution, the possibility of it being a repository teaming with evidence of past microbial life, and its astrobiology.
