The 5th Annual Globe-at-Night Campaign

[Odd Minde]

ANNOUNCEMENT

What: The Globe at Night Campaign
When: 8pm to 10pm local time, March 3-16, 2010
Where: Everywhere
Who: You! (Everyone!)
How: See http://www.globeatnight.org

Why:
With half of the world's population now living in cities, many urban
dwellers have never experienced the wonderment of pristinely dark 
skies and maybe never will. Light pollution is obscuring people's long-
standing natural heritage to view stars.  The GLOBE at Night program 
is an international citizen-science campaign to raise public awareness 
of the impact of light pollution by encouraging everyone everywhere 
to measure local levels of night sky brightness and contribute observa-
tions online to a world map.  All it takes is a few minutes to participate
between 8-10 pm, March 3-16.  Your measurements will make a world of difference.
