Globe at Night Extended
Globe at Night, a world wide collaboration to get people to look up at the sky and to understand the effects of light pollution, has been extended until March 28, and you can fill in the observing forms until April 7. You participate by observing the constellation Orion, estimating the number of stars you see, and filling in a simple report. You can do this as an individual, organise a star party with friends or get your kids involved.
Saturday March 28 hosts Earth Hour, so this would be a good time to observe for the Globe at Night, to contrast light polluted nights to the special "switch off" night.
