GAM Newsletter 23 April 2010

If you have a starry sky in your soul, give a starry sky all around you.

 

Global Star Party - time to turn our gaze upwards - gsp_logo_200x200

On Saturday, April 24, the Global Star Party gives you an opportunity to bring your community’s attention into sharp focus on the sky, in concert with your brother and sister astronomers all over the world. All are invited, all will be excited. It is amazing that when we turn our gaze upward, all religious, national, geographical, cultural and political barriers fade into the darkness.
