HiRISE
We have a simple philosophy: HiRISE is “the people’s camera” because we believe that knowledge about Mars belongs to everyone.

Mt. Lemmon SkyCenter
Mt. Lemmon SkyCenter is an exceptional science learning facility located at Steward Observatory's "sky island" observing site. The SkyCenter builds upon the uniqueness of the 9,157 foot summit of Mt. Lemmon and the extensive knowledge base at the University of Arizona to deliver educational programs.
The Art of Planetary Science (TAPS)
The Art of Planetary Science is an annual art exhibition run by UA's Lunar and Planetary Laboratory that celebrates the beauty and elegance of science.
Arizona/NASA Space Grant

Welcome to the LPL Newsletter!
Welcome to the latest edition of the LPL semesterly newsletter. For those of you with long associations with LPL, you may be finding that more and more of the names, even of the faculty, aren’t that familiar. And you’re right. I went through our faculty rolls, and it turns out that more than half our tenure-track faculty have come since the start of 2011. Similarly, more than half of our Research Scientists have joined the faculty since then. That makes us a remarkably young department in some ways.
Welcome to the LPL Newsletter!
Welcome to the Fall 2017 version of the “LPL family” newsletter. If you think that you’ve been receiving news from LPL more often recently, it’s because you have been. We realized that one of the things we weren’t doing well at was conveying all of the great science that gets done here. So we started with a short monthly newsletter that is mostly limited to news items from the media about the science and the people here.
Welcome to the LPL Newsletter!
Welcome to the Spring 2017 newsletter. I was trying to think of what I should say, and concluded that the best summary of what’s been going on is that the more things stay the same, the more they change. LPL remains, at least in my opinion, one of the premier places in the world to work on planetary sciences, filled with faculty and other researchers who define the cutting edge of our field, graduate students who are changing from just-out-of-college neophytes into world experts, and staff who provide the glue that keeps pieces of the organization from flying off.
