The United Nations General Assembly declared 20th July as the International Moon Day (IMD), to be celebrated annually. The UN proclamation of the IMD was made in December 2021 from Nicosia, Cyprus, with the Cyprus Space Exploration Organisation (CSEO) and Cyprus as founding members.
This year, on Friday the 21st of July, CSEO and CYENS will be opening their research centres to the public for an evening of exciting scientific displays and an outdoor party for all!
The event will include a space exhibition, interactive displays, presentations, documentaries and celebrations marking humanity’s fascination and exploration of the Moon, and the technologies that will help future missions progress. Plateia Dimarchou Lellou Dimitriadi (formerly Plateia Dimarchias) will be the focal point of our outdoor celebrations with music and telescopes for viewing the Moon.
Local businesses involved with the night’s celebrations will be supplying refreshments and snacks throughout the night.
