RARE fragments of the moon’s surface loaned by Nasa will be part of a unique exhibition in Merseyside.
One Small Step, at Spaceport, opens on April 9 and celebrates the 40th anniversary of the moon landings.
Denis Knowles, a Seacombe councillor and member of Merseytravel’s Integrated Transport Authority, said: “This is a never before seen exhibition, so a real coup for Spaceport.
“It has been designed to capture a magical moment in time that will never be forgotten.”
As part of their preservation, the fragments of lunar rock, retrieved by an Apollo mission and encapsulated in a disk of Lucite, can only be on show for three periods of the exhibition – between April 9 to 24; May 22 to June 1 and July 28 to September 4.
The exhibition will also show the landmark stages that led to the historic moment of the moon landing on July 20, 1969.
