We humans have always pondered the heavens. Astronomy and physics have come out of our wonder at the points of light in the darkness. Scientists now want to take advantage of that natural nightly gaze. They’re turning to citizen scientists to count stars as a way to measure light pollution. The project will take place from October 20th to November 3. It’s sponsored by the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research.    (source: ucar.edu)
