MOAS Space Day

Event Description

Join us for our 4th annual MOAS Space Day, where we celebrate all things space in an engaging and interactive environment for the whole family. You will learn about the science, exploration, and beauty of space through exciting lectures, shows in our main planetarium and portable planetarium, and hands-on activities. There will be displays from ERAU's ERFSEDS Rocket Club, Amateur Astronomy Club, and Astronomy Professors from the Physical Sciences Department throughout the Museum. The Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex will also be bringing a replica of the Lunar Rover to be setup in the entrance courtyard. We cannot wait to see you for an out-of-this-world event.
