ALPENA — Inner Space to Outer Space is a program hosted by the Alpena County Library in conjunction with Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary at 6 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 14.

Inner Space to Outer Space: The Great Lakes’ Contribution to Space Exploration & Research will be offered as a Facebook Live presentation.

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 from 6 to 7 p.m. on Jan. 14 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. Registration is not required.
