National Sky Awareness Week is coming April 18 - 24, 2004

Welcome to our SAW AWARENESS WEEK school data page. This page is currently being updated and may contain outdated information and links. Also, some data may not be current due to time factors and data handling constraints. Only a limited amount of quality control has been performed on the data sets. We apologize for this and will try to have everything running smoothly shortly.

A new column has been added to this page. It allows you to obtain the latest and historical weather observations from individual schools. Currently only Maryland, Maine, Illinois, Indiana, New York, and Ohio are active; other schools will be added, as they join. The shows active schools.

Latitude and longitude are shown in tenths of degrees (each tenth is equal to approximately 6 minutes).
