"MoonFest draws inspiration from John Draper, who made history in 1840 by capturing one of the earliest photographs of the moon, bridging the gap between Earth and our celestial neighbor."
"Creatives, scientists, historians, and devoted stargazers from the Amateur Astronomers Association will guide you through tours, talks, and activities inspired by Draper's findings."
"The event explores the moon's profound influence on our world, from the rhythm of the tides and time to mythology and the future of space travel."
"MoonFest is free and open to the public, though early registration is recommended, as all activities are first-come, first-served."
