Andalusia, Spain
Alhambra monumental complex, Granada, Spain
One of the FETTU exhibits in Andalusia, Spain, by RECTA. Partial view of the installation in the crypt of the Palace of the Emperor Charles V, at the Alhambra monumental complex, Granada. (Note: the exhibition at the Alhambra monumental complex, concretely in the Rennaisance masterwork building known as Palace of the Emperor Charles V. It had the advantage of being at the very centre of the Alhambra complex, and the acess to it is free). -- David Galadi-Enriquez (Organizer)

In the images you see the impressive size of the station main hall, and how the back-illuminated FETTU panels shine in this ambient. You see also some visitors, and there is the first school visiting the exhibit as well.

NASA-FETTU Arkansas exhibit, Fayetteville, AR
Many people, students and community members, stopped by the exhibit after seeing it from the bus as they passed by. All of the city busses must drive past the exhibit on route to the main hub which is 100 yards away. This road is for busses only and passes within 10 feet of the exhibit. The city bus system is a free service, provided by the University, for everyone in the community. It carries 1.3 million annually, so with the exhibit out two months a percentage of those people left the bus hub and returned to the exhibit.
The exhibit was also located in between four dormitories and the campus. Students in-route to class also stopped by the exhibit. I estimate 5000 people actually stopped at the exhibit over the two month period of December 2009 and January 2010.
The Braille exhibit was located inside the Space Center along with the posters and postcards.

The art curator at Rose-Hulman has taken down our FETTU exhibit. We are both very happy with the exhibit because there was quite a bit of interest in the exhibit from the public and the students at Rose-Hulman. It was not unusual to walk down the exhibit hall and see a group of students pondering one of the pictures.-- Richard Ditteon (Director of the Oakley Observatory)

Oslo
Our "Discover the Universe" exhibition has been very successful in Oslo, Norway. We hope it will be equally popular in the new locations. It's very hard to estimate audience size, but it must be some 10,000 people per week, at least.

Sofia, Bulgaria
These pictures are from the opening of FETTU in Sofia, which happened on October 28 2009 in the Art Gallery in the National Palace of Culture in Sofia. The exhibition continued until November 13th. The exhibition had a HUGE success!!! It gathered more than 200 people on the opening day. In the following 2 weeks we tried to make the exhibition site a real classroom for informal astronomical education, by having popular astronomy talks (~7 per day), showing movies, going out to the city square after 7 pm to observe the Moon, Jupiter and else everything visible on the light-polluted city sky. It was a great reward to see the happy faces of people, who have the chance to glimpse for the first time the Moon craters! Our target group was reached! The Sofia municipality continues to be very interested in FETTU. We expect to reopen the exhibition next year in March, around the Spring equinox, under open skies and have even more people see it for longer time. -- Mariya Lyubenova (on behalf of the FETTU in Sofia organising committee: Boriana Bontcheva, Mariya Lyubenova, Radoslav Marinov - REME-Juniour, Valeri Genkov, Vesselina Kalinova, Velimir Popov, Georgi Latev, Nikola Karavasilev, Nikolai Katcharov, and all the members of Astronomical association - Sofia)
Haskovo, Bulgaria
Following the huge public interest that FETTU invoked in Sofia, the exhibition started its trip throughout Bulgaria. The next stop was in Haskovo, a charming city in the south-east of the country. FETTU there was hosted by the Astronomical observatory at the Youth Center Haskovo during the first two weeks of December. This educational center is targeted primarily at the younger generations. However, the exhibition was also very successful in attracting the attention of their parents and grand parents. -- Joanna Kokotanekova and Cveta Paronova, Astronomical observatory at the Youth Center Haskovo.
