On August 20 2009, it will be the International Day of Star Watching. Initially, it was dubbed as "Star Seeing", but I thought it sounded weird. There's also star gazing, but I can't decide which one is more descriptive. Maybe native English speakers can share their opinion on the terminology...
So yeah, anyway, on that day, which is tomorrow relative to the time of writing this thread, at 10:00 PM, regardless of time zone, every source of lighting that is susceptible to interfere with star watching must be shut off for One Hour. Simple enough... This is not about environmental awareness, since the lights must be shut off for the sky's sake, not for electricity consumption's sake. It's just about being able to see the stars a little better, so the action is liked towards urbanization and abusive light use and scatter... If you live near a time zone boundary, that could reveal problematic. Other than that, try it. The more people doing it, the better it will work. Let's hope the sky will be clear... I set up a very simple page here: International Day of Star Watching |
