Upcoming Events
International Observe the Moon Night Noord
On 19 September I will be holding my first independent stargazing (moongazing) event! Meet me in Eelde and enjoy an evening of moon-observing, children's activities, reading stories about the moon, and a session of Astronomy for Mental Health.
Agenda
Starting at 18:00, the telescopes and warm drinks will be ready.
Come and go as you like, I will be at the location until 23:00.
Every half hour, we will read aloud a story about the moon or space in English or Nederlands depending on the children who are present.
While visiting you can make moon phase Oreos, throw different objects into our moon-crater box to see how craters are created, or make a sky map (planisphere) to take home.
We will also have a cozy corner for reading stories about the stars or just enjoying the ambiance.
Once all the children have gone to bed (around 21:30), we will have an Astronomy for Mental Health session. This is a chance to reflect on the beauty and vastness of the universe and work to place yourself and your life within it.
