Field Trip to the Moon – Remaining Shows Cancelled
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. Feel the ground shake beneath you as you experience a thrilling NASA rocket launch and orbit the Earth to get an astronaut’s view of a sunrise in space.
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.
