In celebration of the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11, NASA rang the NASDAQ closing bell in NYC and our very own Jeff Mucklin was there! See Jeff in action tomorrow at 1 pm for a special SOS show at NNC (we have A/C!) about the moon landings and tomorrow night at 8:30 pm for the star party in Scott Park.
Come journey with us to the Moon
Saturday, July 20, 1 pm
Our special Science on a Sphere show will recap the first Moon landing 50 years ago this Saturday and the only times humans have visited another world. Afterward, try your hand at walking on the Moon via immersive experiences on the SOS Explorer kiosk.
Then join us Saturday evening, 8:30 - 10:30, in Scott Park, Larry Holmes Drive, for the final Star Party of the season. We'll have astronomy experts and telescopes available for you to use as you check out constellations and planets as well as the Moon.
Today, you joined us, @NASA and educational centers across the country to build a virtual mission to the Moon – right here! You picked the materials, we built it, tested it and launched it on a #VirtualMoonshot. After your revisions our rocket went farther, 39 feet! Follow #VirtualMoonshot to see what others created.
Think you can make it better? Visit [go.nasa.gov/virtualmoonshot] to learn how to make your own spacecraft and share it using #VirtualMoonshot!
