More about AstronomyLive
AstronomyLive is a global network of amateur astronomers and an easy-to-use platform that enables live broadcasting. You will enjoy the website either when you’re just interested in watching that live event or when you want to broadcast. The purpose of this website is to maximize the chance of letting people witness astronomical events and to make it as accessible as possible for the broadcaster. It’s not only easy to broadcast but you will receive lots of visitors that share your interest in astronomy. Not only predicted events like solar eclipses, meteor showers and star occultations can be broadcast on AstronomyLive. Everyone with a small- or medium-sized telescope and web camera is invited to connect to AstronomyLive and point it on the Moon, Sun, satellite, nebula, star, sunset or planet… you name it! Observatories can use this website as a tool for outreach and there are special accounts available for this purpose.
