Mark October 4th on your calendar because it’s International “Observe the Moon” Night and the Peterborough Astronomical Association (PAA) is hosting a free, all ages, public event at the Harold Town Conservation Area, at 2611 Old Norwood Rd. and you are all invited! Whether you have astronomy gear or not, why not come out and be part of this worldwide event to celebrate our only “natural” satellite…the Moon! International Observe the Moon Night is a worldwide public event that encourages observation, appreciation and understanding of our Moon and its connection to space science, exploration, and human culture. This annual event connects scientists, educators, lunar enthusiasts and interested public from around the world as Canada prepares to be part of mankind’s return to the Moon next year!

On this night, a 12 day-old Moon will be nearing the end of its waxing gibbous phase, so the lunar disk will be over half lit, not only illuminating many craters across the moonscape, but also providing a “terminator” that will highlight the boundary between the light and “dark sides” of the Moon. Please plan to show up about 8:00 p.m. EDT, as sunset is about 7:30 p.m. but the Moon should be visible and remain so until after midnight. Spend as little or much time as you like, no gear required, as there will be a variety of telescopes and binoculars to observe the Moon throughout the evening provided by the PAA. 

The included image is close to what you will see during the evening of October 4th.Who can resist the welcoming light of the Moon and all it has to offer? Come and explore our closest celestial neighbour, with like-minded “lunatics”…around the world! 

Dress according to conditions and a reminder that this is a weather dependent event and will be cancelled if necessary. Please check the PAA website and/or Facebook page for updates the day of this event.

“Let’s do the Time Warp again!” at the Marble Arts Centre in Tweed.  Show times and ticket information is available on their website.  In this cult classic, sweethearts Brad and Janet, stuck with a flat tire during a storm, discover the eerie mansion of Dr. Frank-N-Furter. As their innocence is lost, Brad and Janet meet a houseful of wild characters, including a rocking biker and a creepy butler. Complete with sass from the audience, cascading toilet paper, and an array of other audience participation props, this deliberately kitschy rock ‘n’ roll sci-fi gothic musical is great fun for adults and a perfect way to celebrate the Halloween season!
