Spectral data from by the 1994 mission of the Clementine spacecraft provided a wealth of information about the mineralogy of the Moon's surface. Join us on Facebook Live as Center for Earth and Planetary Science geologist Gareth Morgan discusses how this data enabled a greater understanding of the volcanic history of the Moon.
Planning to attend in-person? Meet in the Lunar Exploration Vehicles gallery.
Every Wednesday at 12:30 p.m. we will go live on the National Air and Space Museum Facebook page with an Ask an Expert talk. We’ll select a different aviation or space topic each week, and a Museum staff member will discuss the history, stories, or personalities related to a specific artifact or exhibition in the Museum. Tune in on Facebook Live each week to join the talk and ask our experts questions.
We rely on the generous support of donors, sponsors, members, and other benefactors to share the history and impact of aviation and spaceflight, educate the public, and inspire future generations. With your help, we can continue to preserve and safeguard the world’s most comprehensive collection of artifacts representing the great achievements of flight and space exploration.
