Journeys to the Moon with NASA
Monday, December 3, 7:30 pm
Morrison Planetarium

Featuring Brian H. Day, NASA Ames Research Center

As NASA, the nation, and the world prepare to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the first human landing on the Moon, we will examine NASA’s missions of lunar exploration. We will review the missions that led to Apollo as well as the six individual Apollo missions, explore missions that came after Apollo, and finally look ahead to what's in store for future lunar exploration.

After the talk, you’ll have a chance to touch an actual piece of the Moon!
