Lecture 23: Terrestrial Worlds in Comparison

We follow our tour of our Solar System with an in-depth comparison of the Terrestrial Planets. In particular, we want to contrast and compare their geological and atmospheric histories. This will inform our inquiry into whether or not we expect to find life on these worlds. Recorded live on 2009 Oct 27 in Room 1005 Smith Laboratory on the Columbus campus of The Ohio State University.
