> Is There Life on Mars?
> Tuesday, September 1 at 8pm ET/PT on PBS
> After four decades of fly-by probes, orbiters, landers, and rovers,
> the quest for life on Mars is as tantalizing as ever. With unique
> access to the NASA Phoenix and Mars Exploration Rover missions, NOVA
> shows scientists and engineers in action, directing the operations
> of spacecraft millions of miles away, as the robotic explorers drill
> into rock, claw into soil, analyze samples, and trundle across the
> rock-strewn landscape in search for signs that Mars once or maybe
> even still harbors some form of life. NOVA goes behind the scenes of
> the latest NASA missions to the Red Planet to reveal new clues and
> challenges on the road to answering this ultimate question: Is there
> life on Mars? See some of the finest images ever taken of the
> martian surface--including Phoenix's most famous--on the program's
> companion website.

> Tuesday, September 1 at 9pm ET/PT on PBS
> Join host Neil deGrasse Tyson
> (http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/sciencenow/about/host.html) to learn
> why strengthening memories
> (http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/sciencenow/3410/01.html) may be part
> of the reason we need sleep. Then, meet our most distant primate
> ancestors (http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/sciencenow/0303/02.html) who
> were tree-dwellers the size of mice. Next, find out why a massive
> earthquake (http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/sciencenow/0408/02.html)
> could strike the American heartland again just like it did in the
> winter of 1811-12. And meet a South Korean geophysicist
> (http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/sciencenow/0408/03.html) paralyzed
> from the neck down who defies stereotypes of the disabled.

> Find the Fault
> 
> Three massive earthquakes struck the American Midwest in 1811-12.
> Could it happen again? Visit us online to learn why this region
> experiences 200 earthquakes a year even though it lies over a
> thousand miles from the nearest tectonic-plate boundary. Then, study
> a seismic image to see if you can locate a frightening new fault
> just discovered beneath the Mississippi River.
