Saturday - 08 October 2011
I always enjoy observing the Moon, never the same and I been doing it for decades.
Here is a worldwide effort to bring the Moon to the public on Saturday, October the 8th 2011, and I have already committed the resources of the Chicago Astronomer to set up a Star Party on this date..
Some details...
The International Observe the Moon Night Team consists of scientists, educators, and Moon enthusiasts from government, non-profit organizations, and businesses throughout the United States and across the globe. We believe in the inspirational power of the Moon — a celestial body that has influenced human lives since the dawn of time. International Observe the Moon Night has created the opportunity to for people to take notice of the Moon’s beauty and share that experience with one another. Through International Observe the Moon Night, we hope instill in the public a sense of wonderment and curiosity about our Moon. Our partnerships enable us to stay up to date with the latest and greatest scientific discoveries about Earth’s nearest neighbor, and we strive to bring those discoveries to the public.
