See it on NASA's siteThe Messier Marathon is an annual event where amateur astronomers try to observe all 110 objects in Charles Messier's catalog in one night. This usually happens around the spring equinox, when conditions are favorable for viewing. The catalog includes nebulae, star clusters, and galaxies.
