Globe at Night - Great Indian Star Count

GLOBE AT NIGHT- NORTHERN HEMISPHERE and GREAT INDIAN STAR COUNT
March 22nd - April 4th

PHASE II begins....

Thanks to all of you who participated in the first phase of Globe at night!

 

Globe at Night Northern Hemisphere is the 2nd 2-week campaign that helps to address the light pollution issue locally and globally. We urge everyone to participate and quantify the data. The 2nd campaign is from March 22 to April 4th, 2010 - using the LEO constellation. Under the campaign, observers 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. Remember to send SPACE a copy at info@space-india.org, so we can track the results and build a database.

 

SPACE will be coordinating this campaign and Great Indian Star Count in India. Register through www.projectdarkskies.org and receive a participation certificate. To learn the steps to participate in the Globe at Night program: http://www.globeatnight.org.

We except the same motivation and interest from the observers around the country this time as well.

Note, A special Globe at Night session will be conducted during Earth Hour on April 26th at India Gate at a session hosted by Astronomicans. This will enable collection of data before and during Earth Hour data when lights are switched off!
