You won’t see any Martians in Invaders to Mars, but you will see volcanoes, canyons and storms that engulf the entire planet. Everything’s based on the data that we’ve been collecting since we sent the first probes and spacecraft to explore Mars in 1964. In the 40 years since then, our technology has made incredible leaps forward, but Big Red has stayed the same — rich, raging and an object of infinite fascination. English actor Tom Baker (from the BBC’s Dr. Who) narrates. 12:30 and 2:30 p.m. Mondays through Fridays, 12:30, 2:30, and 5:30 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays. Houston Museum of Natural Science, One Hermann Circle Drive. For information, call 713-639-4629 or visit www.hmns.org. $6 to $7.
Jan. 9-April 16, 12:30 p.m., 2009
