The landing of NASA’s Mars rover Curiosity will be broadcast live on the giant screens in New York’s Times Square on Sunday night, Space.com reports.
“In the city that never sleeps, the historic Times Square will be the place for New Yorkers to participate in this historic landing,” John Grunsfeld, NASA’s associate administrator for science missions, said in a statement Tuesday. “When you think of all the big news events in history, you think of Times Square, and I can think of no better venue to celebrate this news-making event on Mars.”
