SUMMARY:MoonFest
DESCRIPTION:Credit: Alex Testere\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration for MoonFest is now closed.  \n\n\n\nClick here for the evening’s program. \n\n\n\nMoonFest is Green-Wood’s new after-hours celebration of humanity’s enduring fascination with the moon. The event draws inspiration from the Cemetery’s permanent resident\, John Draper\, who made history in 1840 by capturing one of the earliest photographs of the moon\, proving we could bridge the 238\,000-mile gap between the Earth and our celestial neighbor. Channeling that pioneering spirit\, creatives\, scientists\, historians\, and stargazers will guide visitors in exploring the moon’s profound influence on our world\, from the rhythm of the tides and time to mythology and the future of space travel.  \n\n\n\n\n\nPrice: Free \n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin Waitlist\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOn-Site Program(see details below)\n\n\n\n\n\nPROGRAM SCHEDULE\n\n\n\nMOON AND STARGAZING\nAttendees are encouraged to bring a blanket\, kick back\, and enjoy stargazing at the Main Entrance Meadow all night long!  \n\n\n\nEyes on the Sky!Time: 8-11pm Location: Main Entrance Meadow \n\n\n\nFulfill your curiosity and join the Amateur Astronomers Association for a night under a full moon at Green-Wood.

Join Astronomy on Tap as we move through the past\, present\, and future\, and ask the million-dollar question: What continues to draw us skyward? \n\n\n\nHuman Endeavors in Finding Meaning in the MoonTime: 10–11pmLocation: The Green-House Atrium \n\n\n\nLong before rockets\, the moon was a story we couldn’t stop telling. Across cultures and centuries\, it has guided calendars\, inspired myths\, and sparked wonder in anyone who’s looked up at night. Why does this glowing neighbor still hold such power over our imagination? Join Astronomy on Tap for a lively journey through lunar lore\, cultural connections\, and the timeless pull of the moon. \n\n\n\nWhat is Astronomy on Tap? Astronomy on Tap is an event series connecting scientists\, educators\, and communicators directly with the public in fun\, engaging ways.

The project supported research artists Ari Melenciano\, Jordan Caldwell\, Jeremy Kamal\, and Kordae Jatafa Henry as they imagined new futures for space travel.  \n\n\n\nIn this presentation\, Ari Melenciano explores how the cosmos becomes a mirror\, reflecting how Black culture has always carried the universe within it.

In this conversation\, two artists and a film curator explore how luminosity and cosmic forces shape their creative practices.  \n\n\n\nAnthony Cudahy creates figurative paintings exploring autobiographical narratives and crafted mythologies\, drawing on historical and personal photographs. Gretta Johnson builds surreal\, disjointed environments inspired by creation stories and dream imagery. Lukas Brašiškis\, Curator of Film and Video at e-flux and co-curator of The 14th Shanghai Biennale: Cosmos Cinema\, examines how artists address humanity’s relationship to the cosmos through political\, ethical\, and aesthetic lenses. \n\n\n\nShooting the Stars: Astrophotography 101Time: 10–10:45pmLocation: Modern Chapel A \n\n\n\nJoin astrophotographer Ian Lauer for an introduction to capturing the beauty of the night sky.

Moderated by Charlotte Martin\, Director of Access Initiatives at the Intrepid Museum.  \n\n\n\nLunar Rhythms: How the Moon Shapes Our LivesTime: 8–8:45pmLocation: Modern Chapel B \n\n\n\nThroughout history\, the moon has shaped how humans experience time\, nature\, and the world around them. Professor K. E. Saavik Ford of Borough of Manhattan Community College will guide us through the lunar calendars and rhythms that have inspired these traditions\, and how lunar and solar calendars interact.  \n\n\n\nThis year\, the full moon coincides with the solar holiday of Beltane\, the Irish festival of fertility\, fire\, and renewal celebrated each year on May 1st. Moderated by Noah Guiberson\, a neuroscientist at Weill Cornell Medicine and a co-host of the podcast Facts Machine.  \n\n\n\nThrough the Telescope: Centuries of Cosmic DiscoveryTime: 9–9:45pmLocation: Modern Chapel B \n\n\n\nFrom Galileo’s first lens to today’s cutting-edge observatories\, the telescope has been humanity’s greatest tool for observing the cosmos. Columbia PhD student Meghna Sitaram describes the variety of telescopes used\, and ongoing work to advance technology for observing galaxies on the ground and in space. Flatiron Research Fellow Joseph Long shares his work using the MagAO-X adaptive optics system on the Magellan Telescope to capture images of elusive exoplanets.
