FLY ME TO THE MOON PRESENTATION

Wednesday, July 17th at Noon

The Second Half Office, 421 Current Rd., Fall River

PLEASE NOTE:

THIS PRESENTATION IS CURRENTLY FILLED.

Apollo 11 landed on the Moon almost exactly 50 years ago (July 20, 1969).  Samples of the Moon returned to Earth by NASA astronauts changed what we know about the Moon.  It is therefore appropriate to review what we know about our Moon.  Roger Menard from the Astronomical Society of Southern New England (ASSNE) will give a presentation titled ‘Fly Me to the Moon’.  This presentation will expand upon what we know about the Moon.  It will answer questions like:  Where did the Moon come from, why is the Moon so large in our night sky, what is the ‘man in the Moon’, why do we always see only one side of the Moon, what is a Lunar eclipse, how does the Moon impact life on Earth, etc.  Along the way we will discuss facts and myths related to the Moon!
