Here we will post AstroTwitter events that have a set date and plan, and not the events that are just being created. So every event listed here will have a set-time already made. Though since Twitter is a huge database we sometimes can not find every event that goes on. So no matter how small or how big your event can/and will be posted here. (If your event or an event you know is not listed please send an e-mail to moopytheastronomer@yahoo.com or reply to this page)
