For the month of May 2024 several of us are taking on the 30-Day Astronomy Coach4aday Challenge. The simple concept is to learn something about the cosmos each day. For May 29th it is on DARK SKY locations in North Carolina.
It is pretty obvious if you want to have the best views of the night sky you have to avoid light pollution. That is an issue near any cities or towns. In North Carolina there are two certified Dark Sky Parks.

Astronomy Challenge Suggested Guidelines
Like previous challenges there are no hard and fast rules to participate. There are a few suggested guidelines.
- Each day in May learn something new about our universe either by reading or observation.
- Share that knowledge with others
- If so inclined use the hash tag #Coach4adayChallenge on social media platforms
