The 2010 Exploring Space Lectures

DunesFrom Fire To Ice: Forces That Shape the Planets

The planets and moons of the Solar System are incredibly diverse worlds with histories both ancient and dramatic. Etched into their surfaces is a fascinating story – of fire and ice, of order and upheaval, of great cataclysms and slow change. Volcanism, impact, wind, and water are all common forces that shape these worlds, sometimes in ways familiar to us on Earth, sometimes in ways that amaze us.

The Exploring Space Lectures are made possible by the generous support of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
