Observe the Moon Night

Our nearest celestial neighbor and constant companion has been visited by twelve human beings on six different occasions—and we’re going back! But for the budding astronauts among us, we can do the next best thing right now. During this night of lunar excitement, telescopes around the world will be pointed at our sole natural satellite—the Moon—and Highland Road Park Observatory will showcase the best historical lunar imagery, fascinating displays describing fact-finding missions, Apollo landings, myths, and little-known facts about the Moon. Telescope viewing will occur as usual, with the Moon taking precedence. 7 pm–10 pm. Free for all ages. Binoculars recommended. 13800 Highland Road. hrpo.lsu.edu.
