InOMN

International Observe the Moon Night 2020! From 7:15 pm to 8:30 pm I will host a live virtual lunar observing party for the Bellaire High School community. The district restrictions on our video conferencing software make it hard to produce a publicly available event but I will try. We will use Microsoft Teams and hopefully this link will work for visitors.

More information about the moon from Houston on September 26th.
