Join other Moon enthusiasts to celebrate and learn more about the natural satellite of the Earth during International Observe the Moon Night on Saturday, Oct. 21, at Jack C. Davis Observatory on 精东影业视频鈥檚 Carson City campus.

The timing is perfect for viewing the Moon at its first quarter, providing shadows that enhance the Moon鈥檚 cratered landscape, according to NASA.

JCDO is planning assisted telescope viewing during its free weekly Star Party from 6 to 11 p.m. Viewing will be complemented by a presentation from JCDO Director Dr. Thomas Herring: 鈥淚t鈥檚 Lunacy 鈥� the Moon鈥� at 7:30 p.m.

鈥淚'll be highlighting some information about plans for near-term exploration of the Moon, including details on the Artemis program in my talk,鈥� Dr. Herring said.

Dr. Herring said that a variety of Moon materials from NASA will be available for free: Summer Moon maps, Moon observation journals and a Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter coloring page.

International Observe the Moon Night is sponsored by NASA鈥檚 Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter mission and the Solar System Exploration Division at NASA鈥檚 Goddard Space Flight Center.

JCDO is located at 2269 Vanpatten Ave., just above the college鈥檚 campus.
