SEASONS WITHOUT BORDERS DECEMBER 2009
http://www.astronomerswithoutborders.org/index.php/projects/seasons-without-borders/183.html

Join amateur astronomers around the world on December 21-22, 2009 by taking
your telescope out to share the sky with the public. On this day the Sun
reaches its farthest point south in the sky, marking the beginning of summer
in the southern hemisphere and the beginning of winter in the northern
hemisphere.

Would your group like to talk about the solstice with another group in the
opposite hemisphere where the weather change is the opposite? Would you like
to share a video connection with direct comparisons of the Sun's position
with the other hemisphere? Or talk about the most important constellations
each other's hemisphere?

Send email to seasonswithoutborders at gmail.com to register for these official
activities. All astronomy clubs and other interested groups can participate.
AWB Affiliate groups will post their reports and photos of the event in the
AWB forum and gallery.
