International Observe the Moon Night
International Observe the Moon Night is a time to come together with fellow Moon enthusiasts and curious people worldwide. Everyone on Earth is invited to learn about lunar science and exploration, take part in celestial observations, and honour cultural and personal connections to the Moon. For more information about the programme visit the NASA website.
The Moon is our nearest neighbour and has a lot to teach us about how planets form, Earth's history, and how humans can live on and explore other planets!
