Last year there was a National Observe the Moon Night in the USA. This year it's going international.
September 18 is a Saturday night, so why not have a get-together with friends? If bad weather means you miss the Moon, at least you can have a good party! If anyone has a telescope, that's great, but probably you have binoculars�or could borrow some. (It's what I use.)
Or maybe there's an organized event going on near you.
Map of International Observe the Moon events I'll also be posting an Absolute Beginners article on observing the moon, as well as other useful material in the coming days.
NOTE: This event took place on September 18, 2010. If you follow the thread, you'll see that I've added a short report on some of the events that took place. But remember you don't need a special night to observe the Moon.
