What is a Moon Tree? They are trees grown from seeds that flew to lunar orbit with Stuart Roosa on Apollo 14. Read here for more information: http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary/lunar/moon_tree.html The moon tree outside the Kuiper Space Sciences building, where the Arizona Meteorite Exhibition will be held, is a Sycamore (platanus occidentalis). More can be found out about it here: http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary/lunar/moon_trees/tucson_tree.html -- Richard Kowalski http://fullmoonphotography.net IMCA #1081 --- On Sun, 1/17/10, ensoramanda at ntlworld.com <ensoramanda at ntlworld.com> wrote: > From: ensoramanda at ntlworld.com <ensoramanda at ntlworld.com> > Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Tucson Group Meteorite Hunt?
