Visit Astronomy.coms/blogs for more information.
The Out-of-this-world Award focuses on ongoing programs — not one specific event — by an educational or civic organization. The award recognizes a group's sustained efforts to involve its local community in the science and hobby of astronomy. The prize money is to be used for future astronomy outreach activities.
The 2007 award went to the Aldrich Astronomical Society in Winchendon, Massachusetts. The club used its winnings to purchase equipment and books, and develop demonstration tool kits.
