This summer, Mars will be the brightest and closest it’s been to Earth since 2003. On July 30, we’re pointing our telescopes toward Mars! Check out Earth’s closest neighbor through one of our ’scopes and imagine what life might be like on the Red Planet. The next time Mars will be this close is in 2035, so you won’t want to miss it! Come #Lookup with us!

This is an outdoor event only and weather permitting. The museum will not be open to guests, but restrooms will be made available. Please check this page closer to the event or follow @AdlerPlanet on Twitter for weather updates as July 30 approaches. Free.
