For those who missed LPL's "Summer Science Saturday" and those who just
can't get enough of Solar System activities, here is another opportunity!

We invite anyone in the Tucson area to join us this Saturday for a
day-long pre-celebration of the Mars Science Laboratory - Curiosity
Landing to be held at _Science Downtown_ located at 300 E. Congress! We
hope to have some real Martians (meteorites) on display, too. See below
for more information.

In addition, this may be your last chance to see the marvelous exhibits
from the UA's College of Science at Science Downtown.

See you there!
Dolores Hill
