Discover the Universe: Santa Barbara, California
Bill Andrews
One of the reasons Astronomy chose the Santa Barbara Astronomical Unit (SBAU) as its 2010 Out-of-this-world Award winner was its clear dedication to outreach. That’s why I was happy, but not surprised, to see the group’s interest in joining Astronomy ’s Discover the Universe program...

Discover the Universe: Tempe, Arizona

Last month’s transit of Venus was a twice-in-a-lifetime event that won’t occur again until 2117, so it’s not surprising that astronomy clubs wanted to take advantage of it. As part of Astronomy magazine’s Discover the Universe program to bring sidewalk astronomy to everyone, the...
