Chasing the Moon Family Afternoon

On Saturday, June 1 from noon to 4 p.m. Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum, South Carolina ETV (SCETV), the ETV Endowment and NASA’s South Carolina Space Grant Consortium will host “Chasing the Moon Family Afternoon.”  The event is included in the price of admission to the museum and will feature space activities for the entire family aboard the USS Yorktown, the recovery ship of the Apollo 8 space capsule.

Throughout the afternoon, museum visitors will learn about the solar system, planets and have the opportunity to view pieces of Moon rocks.  A 38-minute preview of PBS’s upcoming and acclaimed six-hour documentary series “Chasing the Moon” will play periodically in the USS Yorktown’s theater.
