Currenty taking part in OU experiment to grow seedlings in volcanic ash as analog for moon regolith, three have popped up in my 4cm pot! Pot is geodegradeble volcanic ash. @OU_STEM #Plantymoonplantface
The moon plants are now three weeks old and 14cm high. Still no idea what they are. Any ideas? @OU_STEM #plantymoonplantface
Moon plants from box 12 are now 28cm long. Still no idea what they are :-) @OU_STEM #plantymoonplantface

Will seedlings grow in volcanic ash as analog for moon regolith? I think the answer is a resounding yes! They are 6.5cm high now, but still no idea of what they are

A Library Study Volunteer seeks to support OU students studying in secure environments as they do not have access to the internet or online research materials, so Library Study Volunteers help to research and find references on their behalf.
