MOAS Night Sky Festival

Join with MOAS and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and celebrate the wonders of astronomy and the night sky for Florida’s most exciting star party.

Stop by MOAS for their Night Sky Festival and peer through a wide variety of telescopes set up outside on the front entrance courtyard. The autumnal equinox sky is in full view as we observe the half Moon, Saturn, The Summer Triangle, and much more. Throughout the evening, they will be performing live outdoor sky tours with green laser pointers, presenting astronomy programs in the Lohman Planetarium, and conducting hands-on activities around the Museum.

Make sure to also include a trip to the nearby ERAU campus for their Astronomy Open House where you will find telescope tours, astronomy presentations, hands-on demonstrations, and have an opportunity to look through one of the largest publicly accessible telescopes in the southeastern United States. Check ERAU’s website for more information about this event: https://observatory.db.erau.edu.
