SUMMARY:Pop-Up Citizen Science Party at Independence National Historical Park
DESCRIPTION:Come have some fun Monday night (April 13) at Independence National Historical Park\, right near the Liberty Bell\, across from Independence Hall. Join Derrick Pitts\, Chief Astronomer at the Franklin Institute\, Darlene Cavalier\, Founder of SciStarter\, and regional amateur astronomers\, for a free nighttime stargazing event 8:00 PM – 10:00 PM\nIt’s a kick off to DarkSky Week and part of #CitizenScienceMonth. \nTelescopes\, astronomers\, and volunteers will be on hand to help you explore the night sky up close. Great date night in one of the most historic places in the country. \nFamily-fun activities\, giveaways\, and America 250 window clings will be distributed. \nTake part in simple activities that support real scientific research\, including measuring sky brightness to track light pollution and listening for migrating birds by identifying their nighttime calls. Scientists use this data to help birds reach their destinations safely and to better understand how light pollution affects people and wildlife. Learn about new bird-safe glass being installed around the Liberty Bell and Visitors Center to prevent bird-window collisions\, thanks to guidance from BirdSafePhilly. \nEvery activity counts toward the goal of 2.50 #MillionActsofScience in celebration of America’s 250th birthday. It is a chance to be part of something meaningful right where it all began. No RSVP needed. Just show up. 🙂 Rain date is April 14. \nPresented by SciStarter which connects millions of people around the world to scientists who need their help.
