GAM 2011 News - April 9
It's a big weekend for Global Astronomy Month 2011! Here are some of the programs.
April 9 - Global Star Party
April 9 marks GAM’s ultimate observing event: the Global Star Party. Of course, it’s B.Y.O.T. - Bring Your Own Telescope - but encourage even those who don’t have one to come anyway. All are invited, all will be excited. It is amazing that when we turn our gaze upward all religious, national, cultural and political barriers fade into the darkness. April 9th is the time to come out under the stars, bridge gaps across the seas, and join your brother and sister skywatchers in proving that the world is, in fact, “One People, One Sky.”
