MOON IN JUNE
The moon is the most prominent and ever-changing feature in the sky. The moon's gravity affects ocean tides and helps stabilize earth's axial tilt We're dedicating 2 weekends to study and appreciate phases, craters and other features of our planet's essential companion.
Moon Gazer Guides will be available to aid observing and to take home.
Join us at the lakefront park for a friendly evening of moon watching
Do note:
-
The temperature can be cooler at the lakeshore, especially if there's a breeze off the water. So bring warmer clothes including something windproof.
