On March 24th renowned lunar expert and lunar photographer Robert Reeves will visit from Texas.  Don’t miss this very special evening for “Understanding the Face of The Moon”.

Abstract:  In the 1960’s the Moon was a “big deal” in our society. Reaching the Moon became a goal for our nation to achieve. It was a destination to be explored by American heroes who rode a pillar of fire and dared to set foot upon another world. Sadly, politics ended lunar explorations in the early 1970s. But the Moon is still a fascinating celestial target that begs for our attention. The Moon does not need dark skies for observation and is accessible from everywhere. By understanding the basics of how the face of the Moon evolved and what its various geological features represent, the Moon becomes a fascinating celestial companion providing timeless explorations through a telescope.

Bio: Robert Reeves is an internationally-known lunar photographer and lunar expert.
