Take a trip to the moon in May at YHC planetarium
Young Harris, GA (04/14/2026) — NASA's Artemis mission isn't the only one traveling to the moon, as that's the mission for the Young Harris College's O. Wayne Rollins Planetarium in May.
Forward! To the Moon
Friday, May 15 @ 8 p.m.
Kari Byron, from Crash Test World and MythBusters, launches us on a journey beyond the Earth towards a sustainable future in space. NASA's 21st-century Artemis program, named after the Greek moon Goddess and twin of Apollo, is the next step in our mission to explore the universe.
Hear all about the on-going project to establish a lunar base and explore deep craters on the Moon.
