Calling all astronauts! Take a virtual trip to our closest neighbor in space with Field Trip to the Moon at Lourdes University’s Appold Planetarium.

Field Trip to the Moon is a virtual journey created using NASA engineering models and scientific data. Like NASA’s astronauts, you will come face-to-face with the challenges and excitement of traveling through space to land on the Moon. Along the way, you’ll discover some of the differences between the Earth and the Moon and what makes our planet unique and habitable.
