Tonight, all across the world, guerilla astronomy will be waged on the public as amateur and professional astronomers inflict their hobby on individuals in random locations. Today is the 1st Annual International Sidewalk Astronomy Night. There is a nice article (written by yours truly with great editting by David Tytell) on the Sky and Telescope website. Check it out and get involved!

I’ll be at Annie’s Frozen Custard. Yum!
Unfortunately we were cloudy here, so there was no sidewalk astronomy being done.
But I think it’s a great idea, and hope that it will continue, and I look forward to participating next year.
