A Major Lunar Standstill observation takes place at Chimney Rock National Monument on Sunday, September 14th. Seating is limited.
Details and tickets are available at recreation.gov.

Every 18-19 years, the Moon’s tilted orbit aligns with the Earth’s axis, bringing it to its farthest Northern or Southern rising positions. At Chimney Rock National Monument, throughout this Major Lunar Standstill alignment, the Moon dramatically rises between the impressive rock pinnacles — Companion Rock and Chimney Rock. It is a timely, but very short-lived event.
check-in will be at the Visitor Center from 10:30 pm to 11:30 pm. The Amphitheater program will begin at 11:45 pm. The live-streamed moonrise will take place at 12:30 am. The event will conclude about 12:45 am.

Tickets are $25 for adults, $12 for ages 5-12, and free to those under 5. Making a reservation through the Recreation.gov website (www.recreation.gov) or the call center (877-444-6777) is the only way to guarantee a spot for this program.
