Description
International Observe the Moon Night
(Rescheduled from September 14)
Drop-In Crafts at 7:00 pm | Program 7:30 – 9:30 pm
International Observe the Moon Night unites people across the globe in a celebration of lunar observation, science, and exploration. Use telescopes and binoculars to view the mountains, valleys, and crater chains of the moon. Pay homage to our constant companion in the night sky and get to know its vast plains: the Sea of Cold, the Sea of Crises, the Sea of Tranquility.
Come join astronomers, neighbors, and new friends for storytelling, crafts, a campfire, and viewing our friend the moon - and Jupiter and Saturn, too! We will have telescopes and binoculars, but please feel free to bring your own as well.
Bring marshmallows if you want to roast them over the campfire.
Note: This is an outdoor, evening program. Please dress accordingly and bring layers.
Parking is limited and carpooling is encouraged. Please plan to arrive before 7:30 pm.
Facilities: Located in the Center’s Lodge.
