September 14 marks this year’s International Observe the Moon Night and the Department of Physics will join people around the world who are viewing our natural satellite. We invite you to join us at our observatory from 8:00–10:00 pm for a magnified view of the moon’s features through our telescope. Meet us in room 417 of Memorial Hall where there will be some moon activities and information for a variety of ages that you can peruse while you wait for your turn to go up to the observatory.

This event is weather dependent; if the sky is completed clouded over, we won’t be able to view the moon. If it’s partly cloudy, we might be able to go ahead since the moon is such a bright object and easy to find with our telescope. In the event of a weather cancellation, an update will be posted on our website: https://projects.upei.ca/astronomy/
