Award-winning author and educator, Dr. David Baker, will present “The Nastiest, Smelliest Most Extreme Places in Our Solar System” September 15 at 4pm in Room 2003 of the Bate Building on ECU’s campus.  Dr. Baker explores the extreme stuff on Earth and other planets: violent thunderstorms, bizarre features of Venus and Jupiter, and the potential for dangerous dust devils near the landing site of the Mars Phoenix spacecraft. At NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Dr. Baker successfully launched high-tech weather balloons in the Marshall Islands to better understand the extremes of our atmosphere.
