The Davis Astronomy Club will host a special meeting on Saturday, October 4, to observe International Observe the Moon Night starting at 6:30pm at Explorit Science Center (3141 5th Street, Davis).

All ages are welcome to this free annual event where we will discuss the unique features and significance of our Moon indoors, followed by a star party outdoors where we will observe the Moon, planet Saturn, and the stars.

The International Observe the Moon Night is an occasion to appreciate the beauty, grandeur, and importance of the Earth's sole natural satellite. This global event is held in September or October every year around the first-quarter phase of the Moon as this is an ideal time to observe the Moon all evening.

This annual free event is sponsored by NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter mission and the Solar System Exploration Division at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center.
