If you drive or walk past the northside of the Flandrau Science Center and Planetarium, you’re going to notice a new tree that just got planted. The sweetgum tree grew from a seed that orbited the moon during the Artemis One Mission back in 2022.Mark Marley is the director of the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory at the University of Arizona and was at Monday’s tree planting ceremony.
The University of Arizona’s first moon tree was planted more than fifty years ago. The tree grew from a seed that was brought to the moon during the Apollo 14 Mission in 1971.It’s called the Bicentennial Moon Tree because it was planted in honor of the U.S. Bicentennial.“Really as an echo back to the Apollo Moon Trees. They thought it would be nice to create a new generation of trees,” Marley said about the connection between the two trees.
