PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
Scientists need your help collecting data on sky brightness! Globe at Night is a citizen science program where library patrons can report the number of stars they see in a specific constellation. By reporting this count, library patrons can contribute data to scientists for research of sky brightness. The program is free, easy to complete in just a few minutes, and a fun project to complete while using the library telescope.
