Further to its major exhibition, The Moon, Royal Museums Greenwich celebrates five decades since humans first set foot on the lunar surface with An Evening with the Moon. Running on three nights across the summer, the event offers an evening of moongazing with a Moon-themed planetarium show with an expert astronomer. The evening also offers the chance to look through the venue's 18-tonne Victorian telescope, providing the opportunity to see the Moon up close with craters, valleys and mountains all in view.
