WHAT IS ASTRONOMY DAY?
Astronomy Day is a grass roots movement to share the joy of astronomy
with the general population - "Bringing Astronomy to the People."
On Astronomy Day, thousands of people who have never looked through a
telescope will have an opportunity to see first hand what has so many
amateur and professional astronomers all excited. Astronomy clubs,
science museums, observatories, universities, planetariums, laboratories,
libraries, and nature centers host special events and activities to
acquaint their population with local astronomical resources and facilities.
It is an astronomical PR event that helps highlight ways the general public
can get involved with astronomy - or at least get some of their questions
about astronomy answered. Astronomy Week is the same concept as Astronomy
Day except seven times longer!
