Exploring The Moon
Class | Registration opens Tuesday, August 19, 2025 10:00 AM
Discover the wonders of our nearest neighbor in space—the Moon! Explore lunar phases, uncover how the Moon formed, and find out how it influences life on Earth. You’ll even learn how to prove the Moon is a sphere using just a small telescope—no flat Moon theories here!
This engaging class blends a lecture with hands-on activities, making it fun and informative for all participants. No equipment is required, though telescope owners are welcome to bring theirs. The course is led by Dr. Daniel Barth, an experienced educator who has taught astronomy at the high school, college, and university levels, always focusing on hands-on learning.
Activity material costs are included in the class fee.
This program will meet in person at OLLI Headquarters (HQ), located at 481 S. Shiloh Drive, Fayetteville, AR 72704. Please read your class reminder email for the exact room location.
