Family Astronomy: Luna-See! | January 17, 2024

McDonald Observatory would like to invite young astronomers and their families to join us to learn about the moon! We'll be learning about what people saw when they looked at the moon hundreds of years ago and what some see when they look at it now, and (weather permitting) also show some live views!
This program is being presented to our young audience members, with grades 3-6 in mind, but kids of all ages (2-100+) are welcome to learn with us. Please have your curious scientists bring their questions.
Moderators in the live chat will be taking questions, and the host will take more at the end.
Can't make the live stream? This event will be recorded and remain on our channel.
McDonald Observatory is an astronomical research facility located in far west Texas, and is part of the University of Texas at Austin.
