Please note that the January Science Café will take place on the fourth Thursday. Future Science Cafés will continue to be on third Thursdays of each month.
Join Nick Eakes, NASA/JPL Solar System Ambassador and Astronomy Educator from Morehead Planetarium and Science Center, to discuss Artemis– NASA’s new lunar exploration program.
For the first time in over 50 years, humanity is going to set foot on the Moon – sending the first woman and first person of color to the lunar surface. Through the Artemis missions, NASA will implement new technology to study our closest neighbor in new and better ways, with the ultimate goal of preparing for future human missions to Mars and beyond. Nick will provide the history and context of the Artemis program as well as updates on where we are in the mission timeline.
