Hayden Planetarium Programs Astronomy Live: NASA Missions

Every beautiful image we see of our solar neighborhood comes from NASA probes exploring local planets and their moons, along with data that is rarely seen. Join Emily Rice and Mark Popinchalk on a journey through the solar system, featuring information and images gathered through recent NASA missions.
