As part of Global Astronomy Month, we’re excited to invite you to a special livestream event: "Best of the Messier Marathon livestream"
Join us for a truly unique, stargazing experience as Astronomers Without Borders brings smart telescope users for a live tour of the universe!
During this special Global Astronomy Month event, hosted by Andrew Fazekas (The Night Sky Guy), and Eden Orion, AWB National Coordinator for Israel, we’ll showcase some of the most breathtaking deep-sky treasures from the famous Messier catalog — including glowing nebulae, dazzling star clusters, and distant galaxies — all captured live in real time using smart telescopes like the Dwarf 3 and Dwarf Mini smart telescopes.
Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned skywatcher, this livestream will give you:
A guided tour of the “best of” the Messier Marathon
A chance to experience astronomy from multiple global locations
Insights into how smart telescopes are transforming stargazing
Live interaction and Q&A with fellow astronomy enthusiasts
This event reflects AWB’s mission to bring people together through our shared heritage of the night sky — showing that no matter where you are, the universe is something we all share.
We hope you’ll join us live on the Astronomers Without Borders Facebook and YouTube channels.
