May 19, 2007 will be the 1st International Sidewalk Astronomy Night and all amateur astronomers are invited to join! They will have telescopes out on the street corners, in front of movie theaters, in state and national parks, in city centre parks ...anywhere there are crowds of people, from San Francisco to Sao Paulo to Kharkov.
The goal is to take 1000 scopes to the public on the same night worldwide, reaching hundreds of thousands of people and uniting amateur astronomers on different continents. We also hope many amateurs will try and like this different approach to astronomy outreach and will continue to hold sidewalk observing sessions throughout the year.
"IF THERE WERE A MILLION PEOPLE WITH TELESCOPES WILLING TO LET A FEW THOUSAND OTHER PEOPLE LOOK THROUGH THEM, IT IS POSSIBLE THAT EVERYONE WHO WALKS THIS EARTH, WITH EYES TO SEE, MIGHT SEE THE UNIVERSE." ...more
