WAPAKONETA, OH (WLIO) - The Armstrong Air and Space Museum is all decked out for the Christmas season.
Nightly, from now until January 2nd, the museum will have a Christmas light display every night. They have been decorating with these lights for over ten years, and their light exhibit continues to grow. This year, over 100,000 individual lights can be found outside the museum, with a variety of interesting designs.
"We've added some new ones this year. We have one that has an animated Apollo capsule splashing down with the parachutes opening up, and the mission patch for the Gemini 8 mission which was Neil Armstrong's first space mission," said Dante Centuori, executive director of the Armstrong Air and Space Museum.
The museum is also asking for donations for their 50th anniversary time capsule. The capsule will include items from the public, space-related or not.
"Since we're gonna open this up fifty years from now, well someone will, not me, but we want to be able to capture things that will look at what's going on in this time in space or in the local news, things about the museum, things about the community," added Centuori.
More information about what can and cannot be included in the space museum time capsule can be found on the Armstrong Air and Space Museum website.
