MOAS After Hours

Event Description

Join us at the Museum of Arts & Sciences for exclusive after-hour access to all galleries, happy hour drink specials, and live jazz music by the Cody McCafferty Quartet, a group of young local musicians who are passionate to keep the jazz spirit alive in upcoming generations. Guests can also enjoy a special talk and tour with MOAS Curator of Astronomy, Seth Mayo, of the new exhibit, Dare Mighty Things: Explore Mars with Perseverance. Explore the high resolution imagery that was captured by the Perseverance rover since its Mars landing on February 18, 2021. Seth will explain why the rover was sent to a dried up river delta in the Jezero Crater on Mars, the science behind the mission's search for ancient microbial life, the technology demonstration flights of its Ingenuity Helicopter drone, and how this research is preparing the way for future human exploration. 

Admission: Free for members, $5.00 for future members.
