OBSERVE THE MOON NIGHT

Read More: https://nescitech.org/moonnight

International Observe the Moon Week occurs annually in September or October, when the Moon is around first quarter.

New England Sci-Tech often tries to hold public telescope nights and planetarium shows about light pollution in conjunction with Mass STEM Week and International Observe The Moon Week.

This year, 2025, International Observe the Moon Night falls on Saturday, October 4. Join us for a planetarium and look at the moon through our large 12" diameter telescope!  Free public event.

PUBLIC TELESCOPE NIGHTS

Join us for stargazing at our public telescope nights. On a typical evening we will turn our large 12" diameter telescope toward the moon, planets, stars, space station, and other objects in the night sky. We open free for the public - no charge for this service.

This event is free and open to the public on scheduled Friday or Saturday evenings, weather permitting. Children are welcome, however they must be supervised by parents at all times. Optional: BYO binoculars, warm jacket, hand sanitizer, bug repellent.

DATES & TIMES

Weather permitting, we will try to open on select Friday or Saturday evenings in the spring, summer, and fall. Start and end times may vary according to sunset times and astronomical events, generally 8-9 pm. Families with young children should check the weekly calendar for occasional extra days for astronomical events or special children’s programs, particularly during summer months.
See the bottom of this page nescitech.org/telescope or the Events Calendar for specific dates and times.
