The Great World Wide Star Count
Join us this coming October for an exciting new citizen science
campaign - the Great World Wide Star Count (http://www.starcount.org).
This international event encourages everyone to go outside, look
skywards after dark, count the stars they see in certain
constellations, and report what they see online. This inaugural
Windows After Dark event is designed to raise awareness about light
pollution and the night sky as well as encourage learning in
astronomy. All the information needed to participate is available on
the Star Count Web site. The Star Count uses a simple protocol and an
easy data entry form. At the conclusion of the event, the submitted
data will be analyzed and a map will be generated highlighting the
results of this new citizen science campaign. Mark your calendars and
plan on joining thousands of other students, families, and citizen
scientists counting stars this October! The Great World Wide Star
Count will be held from October 1st through October 15, 2007. For more
information visit http://www.starcount.org or contact
