This campaign seeks to motivate people throughout the continent to pause, gaze at the night skies, and appreciate the magnificence of our shared African skies, while drawing inspiration from the marvels of the universe. The campaign consists of a number of relevant activities, including: encouraging the public to celebrate the African night skies by sharing their favourite African astronomy memories via online media channels, engaging with African Astronomy Ambassadors to champion the campaign in their outreach efforts, hosting stargazing events across Africa an online astrophotography/arts competition that will aim to inspire all to share what they most love about astronomy in their local African region (night skies/facilities/starlore/astronomy community etc). The collection of submissions will then be curated to serve as a glimpse into our continent’s diverse astronomy landscape.
