Skywatching: International Observe the Moon Night

Presented by Gaithersburg Community Museum at Observatory Park

People all over the world will be exploring the moon tonight. Learn about the moon with hands-on activities & lunar observations. The observatory building will be open for the curious. The evening starts with hands-on activities and a talk. Telescope viewing as well.

6:15 - Presentation on the Moon with NASA Solar System Ambassador Ted Avraham

Observatory Park will be dark, but please do not bring a bright flashlight; bring a red light as it will be less intrusive to other watchers. Also adjust the brightness of electronic devices.

Limited parking for those with accessibility tags is available onsite. Parking is also available at the field at the corner of DeSellum & Rt. 355 – 2 blocks from the park. No amenities available on site. Alcohol is not permitted at events in City parks.

**Events at Observatory Park could be cancelled or modified at the last moment if conditions, including inclement weather and cloud cover, are not conducive to Skywatching. Please check the Community Museum Facebook page for last minute announcements.**
