International Observe the Moon Night

Take a closer look at our nearest celestial neighbor through the observatory’s telescopes as the Moon shines in its waxing gibbous phase (62% illuminated). This phase offers excellent views of the Moon’s rugged landscape, where sunlight casts long shadows across craters, mountains, and valleys along the line between light and darkness. Join us for a detailed look at the lunar surface and discover the features that make the Moon such a fascinating object to observe.

Weather permitting.
