Venus event;

The crescent Venus meets the new Moon, will be an awesome spectacle, seen and shared locally and globally. “On the evening of Feb. 27, the crescent moon will pass near Venus and will create a beautiful sight for sky watchers.” This event is a ‘mini trial’ of our new global organisational network for Earth Hour, Globe at Night, ISAN on April 4th and 100HA April 2nd to 5th, and Sun Day April 5th.

We have only a few weeks until the 3rd ISAN and the 100 Hours of Astronomy project. Make sure to register your events on the 100HA website, www.100hoursofastornomy.org. There are a lot of events posted already, but few of them are amateur events. Many of you have sent emails outlining the events you plan to do but they aren't registered. We need them registered because that is where the public will be able to find you. 

We all need to start contacting amateurs we know and asking them to join us. There is a lot happening with 100 HA and there is definately something for everyone. Please help us make this the largest international astronomy event ever!
