Every year, astronomers dedicate one night to really concentrate on our only natural satellite, the Moon. Observatories around the world will be enjoying the sight of the Moon, in its waxing gibbous phase.
Seagrave Memorial Observatory will have its beautiful 1878 8-inch Clark refractor and other telescopes open for the evening. Members of Skyscrapers, Inc., guardians of Seagrave Memorial Observatory, will be available to interpret your observations, to make your visit truly a night to remember. Come and be a part of a worldwide effort to introduce, and appreciate, our nearest celestial neighbor.
