Can You See the Stars? Participate in the GLOBE at night campaign 2010 until March 16!

GLOBE at Night is an annual 2-week campaign in March. People all over the world record the brightness of their night sky by matching its appearance toward the constellation Orion with star maps of progressively fainter stars. Participate online here!
Need help finding your way around the sky? Come to our live Skies over Louisville star show on Saturday, March 13 at 9 PM in the planetarium. Get your free star map and explore where the skies are always clear!
