The planet Mars New Years Celebration in Mars, PA is underway.
NASA Planetary Science Division Director Dr. Jim Green was among those on hand Friday as the event that happens every 22 months was marked for the first time in the town of Mars.
Green believes that humans will land on the red planet sometime in the next 15 to 25 years.
Events scheduled for Saturday include several presentations at the Mars library as well as a jump rope team, a raffle drawing, and a rocket launch in Adams Park by the Boy Scouts.
