Lunar Geology:  The Moon in a Whole New Light Join us as we visit our Moon and delve into its Geology or more accurately its Selenology.  We will look at the formation and mineral composition of our closest neighbor.  How are the Moon's rocks similar to the Earth's and how are they different?  We will examine the geological ages of the moon using time scales and fascinating topographical maps.  How are these ages related to various meteorite/asteroid craters?  What have past lunar missions taught us about our neighbor and what future missions are planned?
