community astronomy

Community astronomy involves engaging local communities in the exploration and appreciation of the universe. It includes activities like public stargazing events, educational workshops, and collaborative projects that make astronomy accessible and relevant. This approach fosters greater scientific literacy, encourages curiosity, and often empowers communities to participate in research or conservation efforts related to the night sky. By bringing people together around shared interests in astronomy, community programs build connections, inspire learning, and deepen understanding of our universe and its impact on our world.
