JAM Sessions: Moon Science - Craters and Eclipses - Museum at Prairiefire


*The event has already taken place on this date: Thu, 02/22/2024
You’ve all seen the moon. It’s an instantly recognizable object in the night sky, but it doesn’t always look the same. If you are a particularly careful observer, you may notice that it appears to rise just a little bit earlier each night. If you look closely, you may also notice that its shape is ever so slightly different from one night to the next. And, if you’ve observed the moon up close through binoculars or a telescope, you’ve seen its craters. Why does the moon look the way it does?

Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.

In this astronomy JAM, you will understand how impactors, objects such as a comet or asteroid that collides with other objects, leave marks on the lunar surface.  We will also experiment with Earth, moon models to see how the moon’s position relative to Earth determines its phase using a flashlight.
