Tonight: International Observe the Moon Night

[Stephens Observatory]

Though we cannot be together tonight at Stephens Memorial Observatory to enjoy International Observe The Moon Night, we hope to post a few lunar images. You can see what we post via our Twitter: https://twitter.com/stephensobs

You can also take advantage of some very nice online resources celebrating our nearest neighbor in space. For example, here are 10 ways: https://moon.nasa.gov/observe-the-moon-nighton-night/participate/10-ways-to-observe-the-moon/…

Find a printable map of the Moon, specially made for tonight: https://t.co/np5STxKbiT?amp=1

Watch the Moon and how it changes over the course of a month, and take notes using this nifty calendar.... https://t.co/r5YbHHPH9f?amp=1

Still not enough? We'll post a few pictures tonight if all goes well, but the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter has us beat -- it's at the Moon, after all! https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/Gallery/LunarReconnaissanceOrbiter.html…

This whole event is intended to increase appreciation for Earth's orbital companion -- the same Moon seen by all people around the world, something we share in this time of isolation. Enjoy your night. Enjoy our Moon.
