Mark October 21st on your calendar because it’s International “Observe the Moon” Night and the PAA is hosting a public event at the Harold Town C.A. and you are invited! Whether you have astronomy gear or not, why not come out and be part of this annual worldwide event to celebrate our only “natural” satellite. 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.
On this night a 7 day-old Moon will be at the end of its waxing crescent phase (First Quarter), so the lunar disk will be nicely half lit, not only illuminating many craters across the moonscape, but also providing a “terminator” that will dramatically highlight the boundary between the light and “dark sides” of the Moon ;-) Plan to show up about 6:30 p.m. EDST to set up and prepare for the public, as sunset is about 6:20 p.m. but the Moon should remain visible until close to 11:30 p.m.
The included image is indicative of what you will see during the evening of October 21th. Who can resist the welcoming light of a First Quarter Moon and all it has to offer? Come and explore our closest celestial neighbour, with a bunch of like-minded “lunatics”…around the world!

On October 14th the Moon will partially cover the face of the Sun. From our location around Peterborough, the Sun will be covered about 26 percent, but this will be occurring in the early afternoon. A solar eclipse occurs periodically when the Moon gets between the Sun and the Earth. The next time North America will be able to see the Moon totally cover the Sun, causing a total solar eclipse, will be April 8th, 2024.
To observe at this coming event you will need clear skies and safe solar viewing equipment. Never look at the Sun without using proper safety equipment, like special “eclipse glasses” or better yet, come out to Harold Town Conservation Area at 2611 Old Norwood Rd., Peterborough and view it through specialized equipment provided by members of the Peterborough Astronomical Association (PAA). Even partial solar eclipses require special viewing equipment to protect your eyes. The Sun can damage your eyes if viewed improperly even for a second. The Sun will not darken on its own, even when partly obscured (26%) by the Moon. The eclipse process will start at 11:56 a.m. (local time) on Saturday, October 14th, with the Sun being midway through the eclipse and maximum coverage by 1:10 p.m. Then the Moon will reveal more of the Sun’s disk until the eclipse ends at 2:26 p.m. Come join the PAA at Harold Town C.A. and safely enjoy this event. Special eclipse glasses will be available at this venue to ensure safe viewing for those that participate.
So pray for clear skies and plan to safely watch a unique solar event with the PAA. You are also invited to check the PAA website: http://www.peterboroughastronomy.com/ for other upcoming events at www.peterboroughastronomy.com
