Its mission is to reach thousands of people to realize and appreciate the magnificence and wonder of astronomy and space. This night is hoping to have 1000 telescopes out in the public internationally, and they want more amateur astronomers to join them.

SideWalk astronomy was a group started by John Dobson and two of his students. It is intended to give all the people of the world a chance to see the universe, through the telescopes that amateur astronomers set up, and provide information about what they are seeing. This service is always free. John Dobson is also famous for inventing the Dobsonian mount for telescopes, which allows them to be large, portable, and inexpensive.
