Clear view of September 19 moon
On September 19, 2026, the Global Moon Observation Night event will be launched, aiming to encourage the public to observe the Moon and understand its sciences through viewing its surface with the naked eye or binoculars. The Moon will be in the waxing crescent phase with approximately 60% illumination, moving through the constellation Sagittarius, making it one of the best times to observe its terrain—especially the long shadows that highlight mountains and craters. There will be opportunities to observe it after sunset and into the late hours of the night. Small telescopes can be used to see more detailed features such as craters and mountain ranges. This phase is ideal for observation because it clearly enhances the terrain features and allows for easy viewing from most locations. Participants can benefit from an event that celebrates astronomical sciences and space missions, with opportunities to observe from home or during astronomy events. The event is also distinguished by the presence of the star Nunki, which will be in conjunction with the Moon and will pass alongside it during a lunar occultation in some areas.
