Red Planet Day on November 28th

Monday, November 28, 2022

November 28th is Red Planet Day! 

Let’s celebrate our most explored and fourth planet in our solar system, Mars. NASA currently has two rovers, one helicopter, and one lander exploring it. Maybe someday astronauts (and perhaps even you!) will visit Mars. Visit NASA’s website on Mars and Deep Space exploration from the Moon to Mars here for more information from real astronauts.
