Globe at Night Starts Next Monday
Globe at Night, a world wide collaboration to get people to look up at the sky and to understand the effects of light pollution, is about to start its 2009 campaign.
From March 16 to March 23 you can 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, get your kids involved or maybe get your local school involved.
However you do it, sometime between 16 and 23 March, Look UP!
