International Observe the Moon Night

View the Moon and other night sky objects during International Observe the Moon Night. This sky-gazing event will take place outside in the bus parking lot at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, Virginia.

Join Museum staff and members of the Northern Virginia Astronomy Club for a look at the night sky through our telescopes. Experienced people will help you to observe the Moon, as well as other objects such as planets and stars.

Telescopes will be provided by Smithsonian and pre-approved members of the Northern Virginia Astronomy Club. No other personal telescopes are permitted at the event.
