The IYA’s 100 Hours of Astronomy is a global astronomical event that is hoping to encourage people to enjoy and experience the wonders of our night skies.

Its website states, “The 100 Hours of Astronomy Cornerstone Project is a worldwide event consisting of a wide range of public outreach activities, live science center, research observatory webcasts and sidewalk astronomy events."

"One of the key goals of 100 Hours of Astronomy is to have as many people as possible look through a telescope as Galileo did for the first time 400 years ago.”


It adds, “100 Hours of Astronomy will take place from 2-5 April when the Moon goes from first quarter to gibbous, good phases for early evening observing. Saturn will be the other highlight of early evening observing events.”

NASA also states, “Everyone who votes also will be entered into a random drawing to receive one of 100 copies of the Hubble photograph made of the winning celestial body.”

To learn more about The Hubble Space Telescope go to the NASA and Space Telescope Science Institute websites.
