GLOBE AT NIGHT - Study Begins Tonight

Skywatchers from around the world will be making observations relating to the magnitude of

stars visible in the sky where they live. Their observations will be recorded as part of the GLOBE at

Night program. There are no special skills or equipment required and there is no cost to participate in the program. GLOBE at Night organizers have set a target of 5000

observations worldwide in an effort to gauge the extent of light pollution. All it takes is a little of your time and clear skies between 7:00pm and 9:00pm between 3/22 and 3/29. Simply head outside and compare your view of The Constellation Orion with those presented on the GLOBE at Night website. Once you’ve made that determination, you simply fill out an online form and you’re done. At this point though, you might as well take a moment and survey the night sky a bit further. Binoculars or a small telescope can really come in handy from this point onward. While you’re out there, remember to have fun!
