What time is it on the Moon? (Stage 2, Stage 3, Stage 4)
Aug
Join us for a fun, fact-filled discussion, where two of Australia’s top scientists will explore how astronomy, measurement, technology and moon missions that help to advance our future space.
ACTIVITY OUTLINE:
In this rollicking conversation, Chief Metrologist Bruce Warrington, and Astronomer at Large Fred Watson, will take us on an illustrated journey to reveal some of the very weird and interesting things that happen to time when you’re 100,000km from Earth. With no agreed time zones on the moon, and without the handy technology we use every day such as GPS and the internet, how on Earth will humans be able to agree where, how and when it’s time to set off on our next interplanetary space missions?
