NASA's International Observe the Moon Night falls on September 19. People around the world use the date to observe the Moon directly and take part in science activities, music, artwork and readings. Events range from a small gathering of friends or family to an online program drawing thousands of visitors. Some prefer to watch from home instead. NASA has published a planning guide with tips for hosting an event.

Anyone with a clear sky can take part, whether by joining an organized event or looking up from a backyard, linking local stargazers to a global science celebration.
