International Observe the Moon Night

LASP’s IMPACT lab will once again host a sky-viewing party for International Observe the Moon Night. Members of the public are invited to come to the courthouse lawn at the Pearl Street Mall on Saturday, October 21 from 6:00-9:00pm. There will be a variety of telescopes as well as several IMPACT scientists to help give you a guided tour of the Moon, planets, and other celestial objects, as well as answer questions.

This free event is part of a worldwide public event that encourages observation, appreciation and understanding of our Moon and its connection to space science, exploration, and human culture. This annual celebration connects scientists, educators and lunar enthusiasts from around the world.

LASP Public Lectures

LASP Public Lectures share with the public a variety of subjects related to LASP’s work, including exciting science, new missions, technological advancements, and more.

Due to new restrictions and fees implemented by CU Parking Services, we are re-evaluating our public lecture series. Please check back at the end of this semester for additional information. Thank you.
