Sidewalk Astronomy Worldwide

OK here is another International Astronomy event.
It's on May 19th and the idea is sidewalk astronomy, just go out and do it kinda thing, no big plan, no big deal, just sharing the nightsky with people walking by. The website seems to be having an upgrade at the moment.

Told Bart about that already. Talking about is here . It is just to do with the Big Move. It will be fixed.

International Sidewalk Astronomy Night brought 500 scopes out to sidewalks , in 143 locations, 1100 amateur volunteers shared the night sky with over 20,000 members of the public, not all data is returned as yet

Not bad for a "first light" event, I know how hard it is to organise these kind of things, so well done Donna
