Dark Skies

This next week (April 1st – 8th) is National Dark Sky Week. This was the idea of Jennifer Barlow, a high school student and amateur astronomer with the “wish that everyone may see the wonder and feel the awe that our ancestors felt long ago when they looked up at the night sky”.

If you want weather predictions for astronomy, go to ClearDarkSky, a site that gives predictions of cloud cover, transparency, and seeing for many sites in Canada, the US, and parts of Mexico.
