NASA Television will air an event from 1 - 2 p.m. EDT on Tuesday, April 7,
featuring leading science and engineering experts discussing the recent

in water-loss in neighboring planets, and our search for habitable worlds
among the stars.
The event, which is open to the public, will take place in the Webb
Auditorium at NASA Headquarters, 300 E Street SW in Washington.
The panel also will highlight the fundamental questions NASA is working to
