This reminds me, the next "citizen science" campaign for Globe At Night is coming up next week - from September 24 to October 1. In the northern hemisphere, we're recording observations of Cygnus and Pegasus. In the southern hemisphere, they're asking people to log the brightness of Sagitarius and Grus. (I don't think I've heard of Grus before.)

Fun and easy way to involve kids in science, I imagine.
