Have you ever wondered if there are any signs that life was on Mars? On May 6, 2026, at 7:00 PM, ET, Hamptons Observatory and co-host Suffolk County Community College will present a free, virtual lecture by Stony Brook University geoscientist, Dr. Joel Hurowitz, who is acting principal investigator of the Perseverance team. The rover recently discovered the most compelling evidence yet of potential ancient life on Mars. Dr. Hurowitz will discuss the mission, its findings and their implications regarding the potential for habitability of Mars.
