This Month’s Topic: Features of the Moon
The moon is our closest neighbor and one of the easiest objects to see with our naked eyes. We’ll zoom in on features like seas, mountain ranges, and of course, craters! Join the staff in Seymour Planetarium for close-up views and Richard Sanderson, Adjunct Curator of Physical Science, will share his own iPhone photos of the moon explain what creates the moon’s stunning surface.
Due to the popularity of this program, registration is required.
