[meteorite-list] Don't miss two special events in October at UA-LPL!

[Dolores Hill]

Greetings Meteorite Friends!

We invite everyone to two very special free events in October that you 
won't want to miss!
Both will be held at the University of Arizona's Lunar and Planetary 
Laboratory in Tucson (https://www.lpl.arizona.edu/):


October 16 (5-9pm) and October 17-18 (1-5pm) Art of Planetary Science 
Exhibition
(https://www.lpl.arizona.edu/art/)

This widely acclaimed event showcases both /scientific //data as art/ 
and /art that represents planetary science/. I got a sneak peek at some 
of the fantastic artwork that was submitted. It gets better and more 
creative every year. Come see meteorite art displayed by friends on this 
very list and be inspired for next year.


October 30 4:30-5:30pm Moon Tree Celebration
(http://arboretum.arizona.edu/celebrating-moon-tree)

This very special commemoration will honor the UA's Bicentennial Moon 
Tree whose seeds were carried to the moon and back by Apollo 14 
astronaut Stuart Roosa in 1971. The keynote speaker is Jack Roosa, son 
of astronaut Stuart Roosa. This may be the first time The University of 
Arizona's Moon Tree has been officially honored since its planting. 
Don't miss it! NASA documents it as one of only 64 surviving moon trees 
located around the world.  At 4 pm there will be a variety of exhibits 
and posters to enjoy, too.

We celebrate interconnections to this special Tree via the Apollo moon 
program, founding of the Lunar & Planetary Lab, poetry, UA Campus 
Arboretum, and A.E. Douglass' contributions to both astronomy and 
tree-ring research. Afterwards we will screen the Desert Moon movie 
about LPL's contributions to lunar exploration narrated by astronaut 
Mark Kelly and enjoy a Star Party with Tucson Amateur Astronomy 
Association on the UA Mall.

We hope to see you soon!

Kind regards,
Dolores Hill
