MISSION VIEJO
The Mission Viejo Library on Wednesday will host a high-tech, interactive video conference about Mars. The event--which also may be viewed in Dana Point and Anaheim--will feature William Hartmann, a Mars researcher with the Planetary Research Institute in Tucson, Ariz., and Andre Bormanis, a science expert who is a consultant for several science fiction TV shows. They will present the latest data from the Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft and answer questions from the public.
The San Juan Capistrano Research Institute, a nonprofit planetary research center, and Pacific Bell are sponsoring the video conference. The free program is set for 7 p.m. in the community room of the library, 25209 Marguerite Parkway. Seating is available for about 60 people. Information: (949) 240-2010.
