~2018, January to December~
~2017, January to December~
Overall, 2017 was a successful year for our little website. Interest in the eclipse in August, three free astronomy courses offered by Paul Owen and Curt Nason, an active Outreach season, good media coverage, and interest generated by Facebook Live feeds via Astronomy by the Bay all contributed. Stats are a reflection of an active group of individuals pulling in the same direction.

Facebook Live Feed numbers are for only during the LiveFeed itself. They do not include people tuning in and viewing at a later time.
A different kind of Outreach~
A Facebook Live feed provides a unique opportunity for people across Canada and the globe to look through telescopes. Chris Curwin from Astronomy by the Bay has been sharing his Facebook Live views since 2017 and the results are astounding. Over 325,000 viewers from April 2017 to June 2019, with 39,100 tuning in on the Eclipse Day alone!

In addition to the Facebook Live feeds, Chris Curwin clocked an amazing 3,393 views at his scope(s) at Saints Rest Beach in Saint John during 2017!
