The Moon has always been an object of wonder, and on Saturday, October 8th, Skyscrapers, Inc., will join hundreds of organizations around the world in showing the beauty of our nearest celestial neighbor.

Please join amateur and professional astronomers as they set up telescopes on the southeast corner of the State House lawn Saturday, October 8th, from 7:00 to 10:00 P.M., as part of an international effort to introduce our Moon as a beautiful part of our sky. Over a dozen telescopes will be aimed at the Moon, each showing a unique feature on its surface.

This evening, ideal for all ages, is a great way to learn about astronomy firsthand, to interact with local scientists, and to just enjoy the beauty of our nearest neighbor.

This program is sponsored by the Chandra X Ray Observatory and Skyscrapers, Inc., Rhode Island’s Amateur Astronomy Society. For more information, please contact Steve Siok, at ssiok@cox.net
