[AANC Contacts] Interactive Map of Observatories, Planetariums, and Astronomy Clubs

[Alan Gould]

Got this interesting message -- maybe some of you already saw this?...
From: geo at mapmuse.com
... MapMuse.com has added nationwide maps of Observatories, 
Planeteriums and Astronomy Clubs to its services. Following is the 
link to the Astronomy Directory, which has the links to the topical 
maps:

The idea is for astronomy enthusiasts to build upon what we have 
started by correcting/editing and adding observatories, planetariums, 
and astronomy clubs to the maps themselves (currently we have over 
175 observatories, 125 planeteriums  and 115 astronomy clubs listed 
on our maps). Please note that descriptive information, as well as 
photos can be added to the profiles. Through this kind of community 
effort, we hope to have the most comprehensive, and descriptive maps 
for astronomy enthusiasts to use at home, and on their travels. We 
would appreciate if you would participate in the process, by checking 
if your local observatories, planetariums, and clubs are mapped, 
enhancing information as you see fit, and adding places and clubs 
that we missed. Also, if you find these maps useful, please pass the 
word on to like-minded friends.

Lastly, if you have an astronomy related website, we would appreciate a link.
