GLOBE at Night Campaign+ P' b$ g0 |* [+ R
GaN 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 (www.globeatnight.org ) 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 observations online to a world map. In the last 5 years, GLOBE at Night has been the most productive public light pollution monitoring campaign, collecting over 52,000 observations in a two-week period annually. This past year, during the moonless two weeks in March, the campaign set a record high of over 17,800 measurements from people in 86 countries.
; i G5 S+ f2 }( B3 B V X8 A1 \! I3 u1 h( K7 i0 m- v
This year, the campaign is happening twice. The first campaign is February 21 through March 6 for everyone everywhere. The second campaign is March 22 through April 4 for the Northern Hemisphere and March 24 through April 6 for the Southern Hemisphere. With a new special feature, people will be able to use a smart cell phone or tablet to submit their GLOBE at Night observations to the website. (To do that, see www.globeatnight.org/webapp ).

8 U1 G3 Y; m, s3 y% s3 x( S# y+ L6 y* z: U: m8 Y
Yuri's Night is an international celebration held on this date every year to commemorate space exploration milestones. The event is named for the first and most important milestone, the launch of the first human into space. The Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin entered Earth orbit on April 12, 1961, aboard the Vostok 1 spacecraft. Yuri’s words to ground control (the first human description of our planet as seen from space) were: “The Earth is blue. How wonderful. It is amazing.”
