Join Bennett Wilson of the UW-Madison Department of Geology for a discussion of the Moon and its surface and enjoy a unique opportunity to view samples of the Moon as well as meteorites!

Bennett Wilson's research explores how liquid water altered the earliest asteroids in our solar system, and the role these bodies may have played in the origin of life. Using meteorites and mission returned samples from hydrated asteroids, he targets alteration minerals with high-precision mass spectrometry and nanoscale spectroscopic techniques to understand how water-rock interactions produced new minerals and organic compounds. This work constrains the conditions under which biorelevant organics and minerals may have emerged on small planetary bodies.

For ages 12 - adult.
