Howdy everyone! One of the goodies I picked up during my abbreviated trip to the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference was a handout from the LPI Education and Public Outreach office with a whole bunch of Moon-related websites on it. This is the sort of thing that often gets distributed to teachers to pass on to their students, but since I’m not a teacher I’ll just pass it on to visitors to Out of the Cradle.

As a reminder for visitors to the Lunar Library, most sections of the Library will have a post of related weblinks as the very last item in the section, typically dated Jan 1 1900. Since the page counter at the bottom is busted [and I can’t get in to fix it] it’s a good way of knowing when you’re at the end of the Moonbase or Selenology sections, as examples.

I’ve hyperlinked all of them, but also included the addresses if you want to print out the post.

Enjoy!
