Welcome to the AstronomyOutreach network!
This organization was formed at the turn of the century as a free service to popularize and recognize individuals and organizations committed to the educational public outreach (EPO) in astronomy and space science.
Here you can learn how to get involved to help people in your community understand the wonders of the sky and the importance of science in our everyday lives by sharing your knowledge and telescope with the public.
Today astronomyoutreach.net is the top-ranked website for astronomy outreach on the Internet, and we invite you to take advantage of this to create greater awareness for the education and public outreach that you or and/or your organization is active in. AstronomyOutreach network uses the MediaWiki platform to allow individuals and organizations to create and edit pages on this website. Be aware that your content can be edited by others who visit this site, but we specifically request that all content is somehow related to astronomy and space science with an emphasis on educational public outreach (EPO). Other content posted here that detracts from our mission may be deleted. Read more about the AstronomyOutreach network.
