The speaker for the August General Meeting will be Dr. Larry Crumpler. The title of his talk will be "Latest Images from Mars: Update from Mars Exploration Rovers and the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) Camera". Since Dr. Crumpler is on the science teams of two active Mars missions, this presentation will portray recent results from both missions. He will discuss the interesting results and current status of the rovers and plans for the coming field season. Also, he will show some highlights from the HiRISE camera and some of the behind the scenes on how (HiRISE) got that image of Phoenix descending on its parachute.

The meeting will begin at 7 p.m. and will be held in Regener Hall on the UNM campus. For information, call 505-254-TAAS. To obtain a map, visit http://www.taas.org. Expand your horizons. Join us for an evening of entertainment and socialization.
