April 16, 2016 GAM's ultimate observing event is the Global Star Party. If you have a scope, it's B.Y.O.T. - Bring Your Own Telescope (or binoculars), or contact your local astronomy club. Don't have a scope, don't worry, just look up. All are invited, all will be excited! The Global Star Party is the time to come out under the stars, bridge gaps across the seas, and join your brother and sister skywatchers in proving that the world is “One People, One Sky.” When we turn our gaze upward all religious, national, cultural and political barriers fade into the darkness.
