Night sky fans, mark your calendars! March 3rd – 16th are the dates for the 2010 GLOBE at Night campaign. Now in its 5th year, GLOBE at Night is a citizen-scientist program to survey the extent of light pollution worldwide. By compiling data received from observers, event organizers can more accurately determine the impact of artificial lighting on the quality of the nighttime environment.
