A UNLV scientist will help NASA with its Mars mission by studying rocks collected from the red planet. The mars rover will recover the rocks from the planets surface.
As a researcher studying magmatic rocks, UNLV geoscience professor Arya Udry has had to rely on meteorites catapulting through the solar system and surviving their descent through Earth’s atmosphere to make her work possible.
It was a down-in-the-mud presidential campaign, but the dirtiest part comes on Inauguration Day.
