April 20th 2013  is the date for ISAN 6! Join us in taking astronomy to the streets and showing the world the night sky. This year, ISAN will once again be part of AWB's Global Astronomy Month, so there is even more reason to grab your scopes and go.

5th ISAN

The 5th ISAN was just as successful as the previous 4! Because of the large number of spring events, we have decided to move ISAN to the fall. Not only will we not have to compete with so many events, but it will be closer to John Dobson's birthday, which is appropriate since the whole idea behind ISAN is to celebrate John and the wonderful activity he help start.

3rd ISAN

The 3rd ISAN was held in conjunction with the IYA 100 Hours of Astronomy Cornerstone Project and was part of the largest astronomy outreach project ever. Becasue most of our members took part and expanded thier events to cover the entire 100 hours period, all results are posted on the 100HA website.
A HUGE thanks to everyone for making this so successful!

2nd ISAN

The 2nd ISAN was as successful as the first, although we weren't as good at keeping track fo the numbers. Most of those who took part the first year participated in the 2nd ISAN as well. The best result is that many of these clubs and individuals are now doing sidewalk astronomy on a regular basis.

1st ISAN

The 1st International Sidewalk Astronomy Night (ISAN) was a great success. We had over 300 clubs/individuals participating in over 30 countries! While you were great at taking your scopes out, you weren't so great at sending us the results. We got lots of emails telling us the crowds were "large" "huge" "really good turn out" etc. that make it hard for us to know the true number of people who got to look through a telescope that night. The best estimate we have is over 30,000 people got to observe that night.  Congratulations and thanks to all who took part.
