Moon Night
7pm - 10pm
Share this event:
Tonight, the Moon is at its half phase, which is the best time to observe it as our sun cast shadows on the surface. There will be time to view the mountain ranges and seas of dust on the surface, as never before, in stunning high definition resolution. We’ll be able to see the locations of the craters from the lunar expeditions of the heady Apollo days when man first stepped on the surface.
As well as the observations and imaging that we will do, there are practical elements that we can also do, and you will even get the chance to hold a piece of the Moon!
Join us for Moon Night at Grassholme Observatory!
