#popscope
#popscope is an urban movement that aims to reconnect diverse communities to the night sky and to each other by hosting and facilitating free, “pop-up” astronomy nights in public spaces.
About
#popscope started in 2014 on a sidewalk in Ottawa, Canada. Today, we exist far beyond Ottawa—thanks to our committed volunteers, the backing of a dozen partners, and the support of many generous donors, we continuously bring together communities in public spaces using astronomy.
Our name, #popscope, stands for “pop-up telescope” and we dream of putting a telescope in every neighborhood.
“Join the grass-roots #popscope movement to bring stargazing to metropolitan areas all over the world.”
