International Observe the Moon Night (Oct. 21 @ 7:00 PM) (Bloomfield Town Green)

International Observe the Moon Night (IOMN) is a time to come together with fellow Moon enthusiasts and curious people worldwide. This NASA-sponsored event occurs annually in September or October, when the Moon is around first quarter ― a great phase for evening observing. Join staff from BPL and members of the Astrological Society of Greater Hartford (ASGH) as we celebrate IOMN and look at the moon in the night sky. We’ll have telescopes and binoculars on hand for a closer look. Snacks and some other fun items will be on hand to add to our fun. For all Ages – no registration required. Our moon viewing will take place on the Bloomfield Town Green. PLEASE NOTE: THIS EVENT WILL BE CANCELLED FOR RAIN OR CLOUDY SKIES (RAIN DATE IS 10/28). CHECK BPLCT.ORG THE DAY OF THE EVENT FOR POSSIBLE UPDATES. Read more >
