1st International Sidewalk Astronomy Night on 19th May
Got a mail today from Manoj Pai of CIAA. It goes fairly like this, and does not need much elaboration:
May 19, 2007 will be the 1st International Sidewalk Astronomy Night. The idea has originated by the US Sidewalk Astronomers, who plan "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."
Details on participating Indian groups can be found here.
The regional co-ordinator for India is of course Khagol Mandal who also offer free buttons.
