Night Sky Network Portal

The Night Sky Network is a nationwide coalition of amateur astronomy clubs bringing the science, technology, and inspiration of NASA's missions to the general public.  As amateur astronomers, we share our time and telescopes to provide you with unique astronomy experiences at science museums, observatories, classrooms, and under the night sky. 

The Cosmos Community supports the Night Sky Network by providing a place for amateur astronomers to post articles, blogs, astrophotography picture galleries, events, newsletters, and more.  Join this portal or start a portal of your own and become part of this collaboration.
