Summer 2009 Citizen Sky Workshop

Check out this workshop, being held this week in Chicago. The workshop is all about empowering citizens to observe the stars, learn more about astronomy, and collaborate on theories. Citizen scientists are volunteers, many of whom have no prior scientific training, who work with trained scientific researchers to answer real-world questions ... what a useful skill!

I'll be interested to hear the conversation revolving around light pollution - I'll be sure and update if I find out any more!
