More than 900 of you told us about you astronomy interests, club activities, and public engagement, both during the pandemic and beyond.
 
NASA values amateur astronomers' dedication to public engagement in our communities and wants to understand how to better serve the needs of enthusiasts and astronomy clubs. The Night Sky Network has supported astronomy clubs since 2004 with outreach resources, club management tools, and monthly science webinars.
