International Observe the Moon Celebration

Join us for a daytime celebration of International Observe the Moon Night, a worldwide event that invites people to learn about, appreciate, and observe our nearest celestial neighbor. While the Moon may be best known for lighting up the night sky, there's plenty to explore during the day! Discover facts about the Moon, explore NASA's lunar missions and plans for lunar exploration, and enjoy hands-on activities for all ages. Plus, get a close up look at a piece of lunar history — our Moon rock collected by NASA astronaut Jack Schmitt during the 1972 Apollo 17 mission!
