Tonight's the night! Powerful telescopes will be set at
several locations around Ireland to show the general public the Moon in stunning
close up detail.
You'll not only be able to see the craters but the
mountains inside the craters and even the valleys between these
mountains!
It's one of the most incredible sights you'll ever see and
something you should do at least once in your life.
All the Moon Watches take place at 9pm.
