Members of the working press and news media are invited to attend the 51st LPSC at the The Woodlands Waterway Marriott Hotel and Convention Center, The Woodlands, Texas, on March 16–20, 2020.

This annual conference brings together international specialists in petrology, geochemistry, geophysics, geology, and astronomy to present the latest results of research in planetary science. This is the premiere conference for planetary scientists, and has been a significant focal point for planetary science research since its beginning in 1970, when it was known as the Apollo 11 Lunar Science Conference.
