Saturday is International Observe the Moon night, and also Astronomy Day or both. For us, it's just our regular Saturday night closest to the first quarter moon -- the Saturday each month we bring the moon and planets (weather permitting) to the sidewalk. There are some other events Saturday the 8th in the bandshell on the other side of Monrovia Park, so come on down and enjoy the various afternoon and evening events by walking around the park!  The big Library Park would make a great scale model of the solar system, with the sun at the fountain, wouldn't it? So come out and join us!
