Learn about International Observe the Moon Night, a yearly event organized by NASA where everyone on Earth is invited to observe the moon, learn about lunar science and exploration, and honor the cultural and personal connections we have with the moon. Listeners will gain insights into how this special program can unite military family members — even if they are in different parts of the world — and serve as a gateway to a broader exploration of our solar system.

Host Bruce Moody speaks with Andrea Jones, director of International Observe the Moon Night and public engagement lead for the Solar System Exploration Division at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center; and Staci Tiedeken, international partnerships coordinator for International Observe the Moon Night and outreach coordinator for the Solar System Exploration Division at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center.
