International Observe the Moon Night is an event that encourages people to "look up" and enjoy our nearest neighbor. This year's InOMN is Saturday, October 16th.
People across the globe every year gather on this evening to get a closer look at our moon, offering up their curiosity and fascination. The night of October 16 is when the Moon is in its ‘waxing gibbous’ phase – an great time to take a tour of its countless craters, mountains and plains. And you don’t have to be an astronomer with a big telescope to see them. Using even just a pair of binoculars can magnify the Moon with amazing clarity.
Our nighttime sky’s brightest beacon has inspired and influenced people throughout the ages, and people across the globe share it every evening overhead. Save the date and let it inspire you, your friends and family and public at the viewing parties you may be hosting.
