[Michlib-l] Alpena Library FB Live Program: Inner Space to Outer Space Jan 14th

[Jessica Luther]

Inner Space to Outer Space: The Great Lakes' Contribution to Space
Exploration & Research

The Great Lakes have served as a training ground throughout the history of
aviation. Nineteenth-century balloon ascensions, early military and
civilian aircraft development, the quest to break the sound barrier, and
rocket launches all occurred on the lakes. An assortment of objects, both
human-made and natural, have also fallen from space into the lakes.

Join the Alpena County Library's Special Collections Department and Wayne
R. Lusardi, State Maritime Archaeologist on Thursday, January 14 from 6:00
- 7:00 pm to hear some of the stories of how the inland seas relate to
outer space!

This program is in collaboration with Thunder Bay National Marine
Sanctuary. It will be live-streamed via Facebook and is appropriate for all
ages. No registration required.

For more information visit the Library’s website www.alpenalibrary.org or
Facebook page.
