Looking Closely: Landers and Rovers on Mars

What can we learn when we slow down to look closely at objects? Join in as we look closely at landers and rovers built by engineers to help us better understand Mars! After watching the video, make sure to watch Flights of Fancy Story Time: “Mission to Mars” to hear a story and do a craft! https://s.si.edu/3yIbmPf

The National Air & Space Museum Looking Closely videos provide an opportunity for young children and their families to explore our collection of air and space objects and historic photos that correspond with select Story Time episodes.
