Throughout our adventures, we spend a lot of time with the stars and moon as our companions, and being the curious folks we are, we like to do our research so we have good answers for participants. I recently found this amazing lunar map catalog at the Lunar and Planetary Institute's site:
http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/mapcatalog/. Fair warning, you'll probably get sucked down a wormhole and lose hours in your day looking at these maps from Apollo Missions, topographical maps and more.
If the moon and stars fascinate you, too, we'll be at Old North Durham Park on April 4 from 8:30-10:30pm with our good friends from the Physics Department at NCCU looking at the stars through their fabulous 10- and 12-inch Meade telescopes. They're massive and will allow us a view of such clarity and intensity, we can hardly contain our geeked-out excitement. The picture below is of the 12-inch telescope we'll have with us. Pretty cool, right? Come see for yourself on April 4!
