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:

  1. The temperature can be cooler at the lakeshore, especially if there's a breeze off the water. So bring warmer clothes including something windproof.


Check our homepage for GO/NO-GO calls as these events are weather dependent.

Please note that we make our GO/NO-GO calls a few hours before an event but, if the weather worsens, we may have to cancel or wrap up earlier than planned. We'll try to post updates but please use your best judgment if you're planning to join us.
