What's in Your Back Yard?

Grab your binoculars!

No binoculars?

…use your eyes.

 

What’s in your backyard-tonight?

Don’t look on the ground.

It’s not in the trees.

Tonight, as it rises, it will be 241,310 miles away…

…the moon…will be in your backyard.

 

Have a moon watch party.

Just you…or add your whole family-this is the best idea.
