Pueblo students help NASA with Mars research
Monday, March 1, 2004

Students from Laguna-Acoma High School helped NASA scientists conduct research on Mars.

The students were one of 13 teams that participated in the Athena Student Interns Program. They spent a year learning about the geology of New Mexico and and their work paid off in January, when they spent a week with NASA scientists at the Jet Propulsion Library in southern California.

The students' attention to geology paid off when they were able to identify a rock from Mars before the scientists. The rock, mineral olivine, is found in New Mexico.
