Saturday May 10th is International Astronomy Day - and observers all
around the globe take this opportunity to help spread the word about
astronomy to the public!
Information on this special event can be found on the website of the
Astronomical League at http://www.astroleague.org/al/astroday/astroday.html
Astronomy Week runs from May 5th to 11th.
Try to join up with a group in your area and help with their Astro Day
activities. Talk to the public about meteor observing - and how you
can save energy and see more stars if you turn off your city lights!
Tell them about meteors and how it's great to watch for them under the
summer (and winter) skies. Tell them it's a great way for kids to learn
about the universe and the natural world around us.
For some photos of what a group Astronomy Day display can look like,
check out the Astronomy Day photos on the website of the Ottawa Astronomy
and Observers Group (OAOG), at

However, even a simple display in your front yard, at work, in a local
shopping mall, in a local park - or a talk to a local girl guide,
scout, or school group - can help teach others about our study of the sky.
International Astronomy Day is lots of fun - get out, get involved, and
help spread the word about astronomy! |
