55 Years Later: Remembering Apollo 14

55 Years Later: Remembering Apollo 14

Saturday, October 10, 2026 (2:00 PM - 2:45 PM) (EDT)

Description

All ages, capacity: 60
2:00-2:45 p.m.

Close out World Space Week 2026 with us as NASA Solar System Ambassador Michael Greene takes us on a voyage back to 1971—to the mission that brought the Apollo program back to life after Apollo 13's harrowing journey. Apollo 14 didn't just reach the Moon's surface; it reignited our sense of what was possible.

Michael will share well-known stories—like Alan Shepard famously hitting golf balls on the Moon—and the ones that surprise us—including how the oldest Earth rock ever discovered was found far from home, resting on our own natural satellite. And he'll guide us through a truly unexpected connection: how astronaut Stuart Roosa carried tree seeds around the Moon, sparking the Apollo Moon Tree program, which has a fascinating modern-day tie to our very own Treworgy Planetarium.
