Exploring the Solar System from the Comfort of Earth

Join Dr. Bethany Theiling, a planetary scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, as she discusses a few examples of ocean worlds in our solar system, and how she recreates these environments in her laboratories. She also describes some of her field expeditions, where she uses a novel technique that could be used to identify life on another planet. This was recorded on January 19, 2023.

We’re launching STEM Engagement to new heights with learning resources that connect teachers, students, parents and caregivers to the inspiring work at NASA. Join us as we apply science, technology, engineering and mathematics to explore space, improve aeronautics, examine Earth and strive to land the first woman and first person of color on the Moon with the Artemis program.
