Scientists have long known Mars has annual seasons just like Earth. LPL professor Shane Byrne describes how 20 years of observations by the U-of-A built HiRISE orbiting camera have given researchers new insight into what happens on the surface during the 687 Earth-day Martian year. 

Shane Byrne spoke with Tim Swindle, Professor Emeritus of Planetary Science at the University of Arizona.
