100 Hours Astronomy

One of the cornerstone projects of the IYA is the 100 Hours Astronomy. The objective of which, is to let as much people as possible look through a telescope as Galileo did for the first time 400 years ago. The duration of this world wide event is from April 2-5 (16 days from now).

If you own a telescope, be involved and set it up for viewing. Invite your friends to take a look, and appreciate the beauty of the heavens.
