Preparing for International Observe the Moon Night 2023

International Observe the Moon Night is a day each year that everyone on Earth is invited to observe the Moon, learn about the Moon, and honor the cultural and personal connections we have to the Moon. It is a day to catch up on what's been happening in lunar science and exploration, celebrate the Moon in arts and culture, and connect lunar enthusiasts around the world. However - it’s not only about the Moon. International Observe the Moon Night begins with the Moon, but hopes to inspire people to continue observing and learning about the sky, planets, stars, and the world around us. Last year, over 500,000 people participated from 122 countries and all 7 continents.
This year, International Observe the Moon Day is celebrated on and around October 21, 2023. You can participate by hosting an event in your community (public or private, in-person or virtual), participating in an event, or observing with your family, friends, or on your own. You can also let others know about the event and share your experience participating on social media, tagging #ObserveTheMoon.
Andrea Jones and Caela Barry from NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center and Theresa Summer from the Astronomical Society of the Pacific will guide the discussion.
