NJAG Meeting: Lunar Exploration during the Apollo program

Our speaker for the February Meeting of NJAG will be Jim Bosek from the Vermont Astronomical Society. He will give a presentation about Lunar Exploration during the Apollo program. Apollo’s journeys to the lunar surface not only settled the space race, but gave science an opportunity to learn the origin of the Moon, Earth, and shown a light on the evolution of the Solar System itself. Starting in December 1968 through December 1972 twenty-four people went to the vicinity of the Moon and twelve of those people went to the surface and conducted a rigorous, detailed selenogic study which continues to produce new results and change our thinking about our Solar Systems history.
