NASA is targeting September 2025 for the launch of Artemis II, a mission to send astronauts to the Moon for the first time since 1972. Leading up to this expedition, a stream of research is being done to understand the properties of the Moon and what it means for human exploration.

In this Frontiers Lecture, Timothy Glotch, professor in the Department of Geosciences at Stony Brook University, will speak to his research on lunar volcanoes and their implications for understanding the Moon's geological history. By uncovering the Moon's complex volcanic past, Glotch sheds light on the Moon’s thermal evolution and offers critical insights that could inform future exploration and resource utilization during upcoming Artemis missions.

The Museum’s Frontiers Lecture series explores cutting-edge astrophysics topics. This program is recommended for ages 16+.
