The Lehigh Valley Amateur Astronomical Society will help IVPL celebrate International Observe the Moon Night on Wednesday, October 5 at 7 pm. Join us for "To the Moon!" a presentation in celebration of 50 years since the launch of Apollo 15.  Weather permitting, the presentation will be followed by hands-on activities.
