From Niagara This Week:
Saturday night between 8-9 p.m. is something Stan Sammy has been waiting for a long time.
There are a number of interesting things happening among the stars these days, said the president of the Niagara Centre chapter of the Royal Astronomy Society of Canada. Saturn’s ring and five or six of its moons can be clearly viewed through a telescope and the a nebula in the Orion constellation (a bright patch of gas and dust in outer space) can be seen by the naked eye.
But what has Sammy really excited is the skies over Niagara will be extra dark thanks to the region’s participation in Earth Hour, a global movement spearheaded by the World Wildlife Fund to raise awareness about energy conservation.
