Join A Time for Science as we celebrate the Moon during International Observe the Moon Night!
All ages are invited to this FREE event at A Time For Science: Grifton, located at 949 Contentnea Lane, Grifton, NC 28530. Our celebration of the of the Moon will include shows in the Chia-yu Li Planetarium, activities, and moon-gazing using telescopes provided by The Carolina Skies Astronomy Club

International Observe the Moon Night (InOMN) is an annual worldwide public event that encourages observation and appreciation of the Moon. All are invited to observe the Moon, learn about NASA planetary science and exploration, and celebrate cultural and personal connections to our nearest neighbor. Each year, thousands of people participate at museums, planetariums, schools, universities, observatories, parks, businesses, and backyards around the world. Anyone can participate. All you need to do is look up!

Bring the family out for a beginners kayaking experience in our shallow pond during the full moon. We will have instructors to help the little ones (and adults) who need help getting comfortable in a kayak. Kids can take a break and look for wildlife or walk the trails. This experience includes the cost of renting a kayak, PFD, and paddle as well as a brief lesson for beginners. We will also have a fire and roast marshmallows.

We’ll miss the heat of the day for an enjoyable evening paddle. Only those who kayak are charged the $10 rental fee. Register on our website to book your space today!
