NASA looking at Moon landing at Haworth.

If you think of Haworth, you naturally think of the Bronte sisters, and Wuthering Heights, possibly the steam engines going through Haworth Station, and all the film crews there for numerous films and shows. But would you associate Haworth as a moon landing site. Well NASA certainly is.

NASA is hoping to send the Artemis III crewed mission to the Moon in late 2026 or early 2027. One of the potential landing sites they have chosen is Haworth.

But don’t worry if you live in Haworth a massive space craft is not going to land in the parsonage. The Haworth that NASA is looking at is on the Moon.

Haworth is a crater near the south pole of the Moon that was named after the British chemist Sir Walter Norman Haworth 1883-1950. He was awarded the Nobel prize for chemistry in 1937 for his ground-breaking work on carbohydrates and vitamin C.
