The 2 1/2 day old Moon, fresh from its duet performance with the Sun in the #TotalSolarEclipse, is low in the west tonight with Jupiter, as seen at UCF. Bonus: earthshine!

Get ready for some Moon MAY-hem this month, space nerds! 🥳🚀 We are back at it again with another night of tasty drinks and even more delicious astronomy! Come back out to Oviedo Brewing Co next Tuesday, May 21 at 7pm to hear from Dr. Benjamin Byron about LRO!

Hey Space Nerds! 😎 Due to some unfortunate circumstances, we regret to inform you all that we have to cancel our AoT Orlando event for June. 😢 But don't worry! We'll be back again next month for another fantastic time! 🚀🍻 Enjoy the beginning of your summers! ☀️

The moon has made an appearance at #inomn #ObservetheMoonNight UCF! #UCFontheMoon

We're waxing gibbously by Millican Hall UCF for #ObservetheMoonNight.

We are go for #KUTS though there may be some lingering clouds. #ObserveTheMoon and we'll try to #ObserveSaturn too! #AstronomyinSummerinFlorida

10:35pm ET, Thur Sept 17, 2024 Wherever you are in the world right now, if it’s nighttime AND you can see the full “harvest” Moon, you will notice it’s not perfectly round. The Moon is currently experiencing a partial eclipse, as it skirts Earth’s conical shadow in space.

The view of the partial #LunarEclipse that just now was at its maximum depth. Yes, just a nibble of shadow. Don't worry, we'll get to see a total one in March.... #UCFontheMoon
