International Observe the Moon Night: Growing Global Engagement in an Annual Lunar Celebration

International Observe the Moon Night is a worldwide celebration of lunar science and exploration as well as the cultural and personal connections we have to the Moon. 2018 participation in International Observe the Moon Night broke all previous participation records. We are eager to continue to grow and improve the program, and welcome new collaborations and partnerships. The flexible event format and relative accessibility of the Moon should facilitate expansion and engagement among audiences worldwide.
