From Slooh:
Slooh’s next mission is to livestream the last in the 2020 trilogy of Supermoons – the Super Flower Moon on Wednesday, May 6th at 7 PM EDT.
Hosted by Slooh Astronomer Paul Cox, and Slooh’s Director of Education, Russ Glenn, they will be joined by Slooh members around the globe in the live star party. As well as discussing the Supermoon, and how the Moon affects the natural world, they will be introducing Slooh’s new Online Space Camp and educational Quests, where students collect images of phenomena in space, research-related information, analyze their data and draw conclusions in a series of self-directed learning activities that culminate in the creation of their own personalized infographic featuring their images.
Viewers will be able to snap their own photos of the supermoon from Slooh’s live telescopes located at the Institute of Astrophysics of the Canary Islands and in Chile!
