A New Moon Rises

Verona Library 500 Silent St., Verona, Wisconsin 53593
media release: Fifty years after the Apollo Moon landings, get ready to see the Moon as you’ve never seen it before.
The Moon is not the same place as when astronauts last stepped foot on it. A New Moon Rises, a Build-It-Yourself exhibition from the Smithsonian, features stunning large-scale photographs of the lunar surface captured by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Cameras (LROC) between 2009 and 2015. The highly detailed photographs reveal a celestial neighbor that is surprisingly dynamic and full of grandeur and wonder.
Over the six weeks of the exhibit, there will be programming related to the Moon for all ages, including crafts, story times, educational talks, and even a chance to see actual samples from the Moon.
A New Moon Rises was created by the National Air and Space Museum and the Arizona State University and is organized for travel by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service.
Made possible locally by the Verona Public Library Endowment Fund.
