Planting the Artemis I Moon Tree

The General Public is invited to watch as the new Moon Tree is planted north of The University of Arizona's Flandrau Planetarium. The tree was awarded by NASA and the US Forest Service as a second generation Moon Tree - a tree grown from see that flew on a ship on a space flight. To learn more about these trees, visit https://www.nasa.gov/learning-resources/nasa-stem-artemis-moon-trees/ 

The informal gathering will occur at 3pm on Wed. Nov. 6th north of Flandrau. Visit the Campus Map for directions. https://map.arizona.edu/
