Mission overview
As the Moon rises across the world, so do we.
For one extraordinary day, people from every continent will gather online to follow the Moon on its journey across the Earth—from the first moonrise in Oceania to the last moonset over the Americas.
Scientists. Students. Artists. Musicians. Storytellers. Indigenous knowledge keepers. Families. Space enthusiasts. Dreamers.
For twenty-four hours we celebrate the one celestial companion that belongs to us all.
