Celebrate the full moon and enjoy listening to moon myths and legends, meet nocturnal animals, chat with astronomers, try a Moon Pie, and more!

6 - 8 p.m.

• Decorate a Postcard for Space: Decorate and/or draw a picture on a postcard. Then, we'll send the postcards to Blue Origin's Club for the Future, and they'll launch them into space on a New Shepard rocket! Postcards will be returned stamped 'Flown to Space'. 
  
  
• Ask An Astronomer: Got questions? Ask the members of the Fox Valley Astronomical Society about the moon, their club, and more!

• Listen to the Voyager Golden Record and a playlist of moon and space-themed songs. The Voyager Golden Record was a 12" gold-plated copper disk containing sounds and images selected to portray the diversity of life and culture on Earth. The record was sent into space as a kind of time capsule aboard Voyager 1 and 2.
