| Description: |
The Martian Chronicles is written by three graduate students at Cornell University who are actively involved in exploring Mars. Like its namesake book by Ray Bradbury, the Martian Chronicles offers a glimpse into the exploration of the Red Planet and what it is like to be a “Martian”. Our posts focus on Mars, but also stray into other science and space news, reflections on graduate school and academia, and anything else that catches our interest. We hope that they will catch yours, too. |

How Habitable is the Earth?
