The Flagstaff Festival of Science proudly presents: The Lunar Legacy Lecture Series.
This FREE 18-month speaker series celebrates the Apollo Moon Missions and Flagstaff's Critical role in these historic lunar landings.

USGS Astrogeologist and astronaut, Jack Schmitt, walked on the Moon in December 1972 as part of the Apollo 17 mission to the Taurus-Littrow valley. He found orange soil there that has delighted and perplexed lunar scientists ever since. That soil was formed by explosive volcanic eruptions that were much like those that formed many of the volcanoes in and around Flagstaff. With the abundant new images and data collected by lunar orbiting instruments, local scientists Lisa Gaddis and Kristen Bennett study the lunar volcanoes to answer questions about how they form, why they form where they do, and more.

The Lunar Legacy Lecture Series is at 6 p.m., the second Wednesday of every month in the Coconino Community College Lone Tree Campus Commons, Flagstaff.
Parking is FREE for this series.
