Presented by Stephanie Welch (Instructor of Earth and Space Science at Southeastern Louisiana University since 2010 and Planetarium Coordinator at Pelican Park), this session dives into the dominant theory of the moon's formation, its composition and cycles, and the science behind its phases, eclipses, and tides. The last half hour of the presentation will take place in the portable planetarium.
