Gardiner Library hosts a presentation by Dr. Willie Yee entitled “Apollo 11 and After: What We Have Learned About the Moon” on Tuesday July 23 from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m.

With July 20 marking the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11’s landing on the moon, this presentation explores the historic event that was both a national and technological achievement, as well as a scientific breakthrough. It sparked a major understanding of the moon, and in turn the rest of the solar system. This presentation will review some of the scientific findings of the Apollo missions, and others since, as well as future possible missions to the moon.

Dr. Willie Yee is a Solar System Ambassador, sponsored by NASA and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, CA. He is past president of the Mid-Hudson Astronomical Association, and has received numerous awards for astronomical observing and education.

The presentation will take place in the library community room, 133 Farmer’s Turnpike in Gardiner.
