Join us at the UPEI observatory as we join people around the world celebrating International Observe the Moon Night. Get an up-close look at our nearest astronomical neighbour through our 8-inch telescope. Meet in room 417 of Memorial Hall to await your turn to go up to the telescope. Local astronomy enthusiasts will be on hand to provide information about the Moon and answer any of your astronomy questions. This event is open to the general public and all ages are welcome. Please note that accessing the telescope requires climbing stairs from the 4th floor to the rooftop. The elevator can be taken up to the 4th floor. In the event of cloudy weather, the viewing may have to be cancelled. Our back-up "cloud-date" is Wednesday, October 12, 8:00 to 9:30 pm. More information and updates on the event status can be found at http://projects.upei.ca/astronomy/ or by following @UPEIAstronomy on Twitter.
