International Observe the Moon Night is a worldwide celebration of lunar science and exploration, celestial observation, and our cultural and personal connections to the moon. In 2019, it comes on October 5. Here’s how to join in.
International Observe the Moon Night (InOMN 2019) is back, scheduled for October 5, 2019. It’ll be a special one this year, coming, as it does, in the year of the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11’s historic landing on the moon on July 20, 1969. There are many ways to celebrate the event, which we talk about below. In addition, the Virtual Telescope Project in Rome invites you to join InOMN 2019 online, live, from the comfort of your home, allowing you to enjoy the moon above Rome’s stunning skyline.
The online, free session is scheduled for October 5, 2019, starting at 17:00 UTC; translate UTC to your time. To join the International Observe the Moon Night online via the Virtual Telescope Project, you just need to enter at the date and time above the webTV page here:
