Natural History Wanderings

The Great Worldwide Star Count is between October 14 and 28, 2011

Participants from all over the world go out after dark and count the stars they see in certain constellations and report their findings on-line. Windows to the Universe coordinates the event and collects the data. It’s very easy to take part.

Five Simple Steps to Star Count:

1.  Determine which constellation to observe
2.  Find that constellation at night an hour after sunset (about 7-9pm local time)
3.  Match your nighttime sky with one of our magnitude charts
4. Report what you see online
5. View results of this international event
