Total Lunar Eclipse Celebration

Join us for an unforgettable evening as we observe a total lunar eclipse—the first visible to us in its entirety since 2015!

Have fun seeing the night sky at the outdoor RASC Observatory, free of charge, then enjoy indoor activities—all centered around Earth’s celestial companion. Activities include a 20-minute presentation on the geometry of the eclipse and what to expect showing in the Zeidler Dome. In the Command Centre in the S.P.A.C.E. Gallery create solar and lunar eclipses, and get the opportunity to see a REAL piece of the Moon and hear all about how a piece of the Moon made its way to earth in Destination: Moon 3D theatre!
