The moon shines brightly in our night sky, but what does it look like up close? Dr. Brooke Skelton, Professor of Physics and Astronomy with Georgia State University, will talk to us about humankind's adventures to our nearest celestial neighbor and bring along samples of moon rocks on loan from NASA so you can get a good, close-up look at the moon!
