Details

On Tuesday, Sep 16th, Charles Merguerian will be giving a presentation titled, "Exploration and Geology of the Earth’s Moon".

Dr. Charles Merguerian plans to discuss the geology of the Earth’s moon against the backdrop of the history of space exploration and discovery including pre-1969 sci-fi movies and world literature that accurately predicted our coming conquests. An active, published research scientist in the fields of Geology and Astrogeology and professor of many lunar geology courses, he will describe the lunar missions and geological evolution of the Moon. Lunar geology also serves as a window of time into the first billion or so years of solar system history – a period of time from which few terrestrial rocks persist.

Prior to the presentation MHAA will conduct a club business meeting, which will start at 7:30 PM. The talk will start at 8:00 PM, but anyone who wishes to join the business meeting is welcomed.

Participants may email Bart Hennin or call or text Tim Denman at 845-245-5483 for assistance or for further details.
