How cool is this?
They're turning the streetlights out in Reykjavik on Thursday night for 2 hours while an astronomer tells people about the night sky on national radio.
No wonder you guys came up with EVE, you're all bonkers

That¦s freakin awesome! Not sure if they have a lot of snow up there and I hate snow, but if they let people stargaze without disturbance from lights, I would even be able to live with the snow...I think.
They have snow. A LOT of snow O_o. And ice. And hail and wind and rain and general coldness. I went there for my honeymoon and omfg it was cold  Lovely place though

Its Iceland though so the weather can change rather quickly. There's still hope 
Are the CCP offices going to be darkened and the giant glass roof opened to allow all the staff to gaze at the heavens in awe?
If they are I bet half of you try right clicking on the stars....

True, I move to Greenland then - they should have more green than ice 
Apparently what happened was that the original vikings who colonised Iceland had visited the area we know now as Greenland first. What they found was a barren wasteland, uninhabitable unless your name was Mr Penguin.
They then found Iceland which was a lot nicer (gives you some idea of just how chilly Greenland was...) and decided "Nice volcanic land mass, we'll take it". To fool other potential settlers they then gave the barren, inhospitable wasteland the cunning name "Greenland" and called the (relatively) lush and pretty one "Iceland" so that all the other vikings/goths/Scottish people would head for Greenland instead and they could then point from the warm (and vaguely sulphurous) comfort of Iceland and say "haha!.
So I was told
