Globe at Night - Great Indian Star Count

SPACE will conduct Globe at Night - Great Indian Star Count
with Globe at Night
from March 24th - April 4th

Globe at Night Northern Hemisphere is the 2nd 2-week campaign in March/Apr that helps to address the light pollution issue locally and globally. The 2nd campaign is from March 21 to April 4th, 2010 - using LEO constellation.
Under the campaign, everyone  will record the brightness of their night sky by matching its appearance toward the constellation Leo with star maps of progressively fainter stars found at http://www.globeatnight.org/observe_magnitude.html. Submit your measurements on-line at http://www.globeatnight.org/report.html with your date, time and location. A few weeks later, organizers release a map of light-pollution levels worldwide.
SPACE will be coordinating this campaign and Great Indian Star Count in India. Register through www.projectdarkskies.org and receive a participation certificate.
