If you love astronomy, do I have a month for you.
April is Global Astronomy Month, an informal but planetwide celebration put together by Astronomers Without Borders, a wonderful group that promotes astronomy worldwide. Among its many projects it built a science center in Tanzania that will help teach children there about the Universe, set up an artist residency program, developed community programs, and more.
