The Great World Wide Star Count

Join us this coming October for an exciting new citizen science campaign 
– the Great World Wide Star Count (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
