One day each year, astronomy clubs, planetariums,
and other groups of sky lovers band together to expose the general
public to the wonders and excitement of astronomy. Officially,
Astronomy Day is celebrated "to promote the forerunner of all
scientific endeavors and to provide information, resources, and
encouragement in all facets of astronomy." But showing that astronomy
is fun is really what it's all about.
