Children’s Day!
Date: Saturday, Dec 3 CANCELLED! CHECK BACK. Will reschedule in Jan/Feb
Time: 10:30am – 4:30pm
Learn all about Hematite.
Hematite is a mineral, colored black to steel or silver-gray,
brown to reddish brown, or red. It is mined as the main ore of iron.
investigations by the Opportunity rover on Mars showed a significant amount of hematite,
much of it in the form of small spherules that were informally named
"blueberries" by the science team.
Analysis indicates that these spherules are formed from a water solution which shows that
Mars had water in the past.
Each child 12 and under will receive a free piece of Hematite!
