Also enjoy face painting, food, and science demos. Hear from local authors about meteor craters and the moon, and how the two are related.
Then head to Lowell Observatory for some more food, Mother Road beer, and the chance to hear from top Lowell researchers who work with NASA to defend our planet from potentially threatening asteroids and other space objects.
