If you see people at Crescent Bay looking up at the sky on Oct. 28, don’t be alarmed; it’s not an invasion from outer space, it’s “International Observe the Moon Night.”

The event is sponsored by NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter mission and partners. The National Park Service will be present to guide a 6-9 p.m. study of the moon.

The “International Observe the Moon Night” is an annual worldwide event that encourages observation, appreciation and understanding of the moon and its connection to NASA planetary science and exploration.

The invite is out to all “sky rangers” to come to Crescent Bay, near the boat launch area, on Saturday, Oct. 28, and to bring your binoculars, telescopes and lawn chairs, for a study of the moon, the earth’s closest companion in space.

For additional information on the event, those interested can call 509-754-7843.
