Description
Take a trip to our nearest neighbor in space with renowned science journalist and space historian Andrew Chaikin. Coinciding with the 40th anniversary of the first moon landing, Chaikin’s talk will introduce the past, present, and future of lunar exploration and include a visual tour of the moon’s surface—from Apollo landing sites to the planned Lunar Impact point. Relive the achievements of Apollo lunar astronauts and learn about the ambitious LCROSS (Lunar CRater Observation and Sensing Satellite) mission, which will send a rocket crashing into the moon’s permanently shadowed regions to kick up huge plumes of debris in the hopes of uncovering deposits of ice. In addition, Exploratorium physicists will give an entertaining and interactive overview of moon science. This event is included in the price of admission to the Exploratorium.
