East Brunswick Astronomy Club with Lecture

"Space Frontiers"

Space Frontiers is a journey through US space exploration history. Join us to engage and relive our explorations and growing. Artifacts from our history will be shown. Some of these items have been flown. Other items are un-flown but have helped pave the way for our journey. Some of the artifacts shown are EVA gloves from the Space Shuttle program, small RCS steering thruster, food flown both onboard the Space Shuttle and Apollo Command Module to the Moon on Apollo 8, a full pressure suit, a piece of Martian meteorite and more.
During the presentation, a video showing life onboard the International Space Station will be shown along with photos of key moments in space exploration history. We will also delve into current and future missions into our solar system.
Questions about what NASA is currently working on for our planet and humanities future hopefully will be addressed.

The East Brunswick Astronomy Club (EBAC) was founded with the mission of encouraging and promoting an interest in astronomy and space science throughout East Brunswick and beyond. EBAC meets once a month at the East Brunswick Public Library and meetings typically include a short lecture, open discussion, and telescope observing.

This group is open to adults, teens, and families with children ages 12 and younger.
