Star Count 2023
How many stars can you see in Orion? We are inviting local people to join Star Count if you live in or around Cannock Chase AONB. Anyone can take part in the survey and become a “citizen scientist” by choosing a clear night between 17-24 February and counting the number of stars in Orion.
Its easy to do and does not require a telescope or any other equipment. This year CPRE is asking everyone to take part from home: from a garden, balcony, doorstep or even bedroom window. It’s a family-friendly activity that’s quick and easy to do, and can help more of us experience the beauty of a starry sky. You can find out more about Star Count on the CPRE website. Just sign up now for the Star Count.
To find out more about the AONB Dark Skies project please visit see our Dark Skies page.
In conjunction with the Staffordshire Wildlife Trust the AONB have organised some family friendly FREE evening events on 20th and 22nd February which include a stroll in the dark and finish around a campfire. THESE EVENTS ARE NOW FULLY BOOKED.
More information can be found on the Staffordshire Wildlife Trust website.
