Mid-Autumn Festival's a month away

You may want to start looking for mooncakes at the Chinese grocery store, review Mid-Autumn Festival information, decide whether you want to go into your child's school to celebrate, or even start talking to their teachers. September 25th is less than a month away now!

If you want to surprise some friends online, there are Mid-Autumn Festival e-cards. You can set them up now to be delivered on September 25th!

If you want close-ups of the moon, NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston Arizona State University's collaboration may be just in time. They're setting up the Apollo Image Archive for high-resolution scans of original Apollo flight films. Most of these have not been publicly available in over 30 years.

This is a sample of the high resolution frames the Apollo Image Archive will have. AS15-M-0085 was taken on the Apollo 15 mission in July 1971. Photo courtesy of NASA/Arizona State University. (Thanks to Kathe for the heads-up!)
