Break  out  the  binoculars  and  telescopes  on  Saturday,  May  19th.  Because  it's  the  first  International  Sidewalk  Astronomy  Night.  "Sidewalk  Astronomers"  was  founded  in  San  Francisco  in  1968,  when  a  lot  of  people  were  seeing  stars,  and  not  just  at  night.  The  group's  goal  is  to    more  people  to  the  beauty  and  wonder  of  celestial  objects  with  good  viewing  equipment  and  to  provide    about  what  the  eyewitnesses  are  actually  looking  at.  The  most    viewed  objects  are  the  moon;  Jupiter,  whose  major  moons  are  visible  with  good  binocs;  and  Saturn.  I  once  trained  a  cheap  telescope  on  Saturn  and  some  friends  were  so  amazed  at  the  site  of  the  rings  they  seriously  looked  at  the  other  end  of  the  scope  to  see  if  I  had    it.  Sidewalk  Astronomy  Night  is  indeed  an  international  event,  with  dozens  of  public  viewing  sites  from  Beijing  to  the  corner  of  81st  Street  and  Central  Park  West  in  Manhattan.  For  more  info  and  to  find  a  site  near  you,  just  go  to  the  official  website.  And  if  there's  no    site  near  you,  feel  free  to  go  outside  and  look  at  the  stars  anyway.
