Traveling FETTU in Puerto Rico

We had a successful first exhibition at the Interamerican University at Bayamón, Puerto Rico (November 3 -7, 2009). The event was organized by Prof. Dorcas Torres. The student volunteers helped with the events, serving as guides to the exhibit, distributing materials and as guides at the demonstration tables. Several physics demonstrations were presented with the concepts of waves and light. Special conferences (3) on astronomy were organized. One activity was to draw your favorite image. The public included students from the University, University employees, general visitors, students from local schools, teachers and senior groups (more than 1000 persons). Additional photos can be seen at this Flickr page.

The Traveling FETTU exhibit was displayed at Río Piedras, Puerto Rico (Nov 17 - 27, 2009) at the Faculty of Natural Sciences of the University of Puerto Rico, Río Piedras Campus. More than 1000 persons visited the exhibit (students, professors, University employees, school children, and families). Visiting schools were offered guided tours of the exhibit. A "Family Day" took place on Sunday November 22 with guided tours, activities for the children (astronomy puzzles, How to Build a Solar Clock). For the family there was an educational Bingo denominated "A Jugar con Galileo" ("Let's Play with Galileo") and the presentation of the NASA/ESA/ASI movie "Ring World 2" about the Cassini-Huygens mission to Saturn and its moons. On Nov 23-24 the Tactile and Braille Panels were displayed at the library of the School for Blind Children: "Instituto Loaiza Cordero para Niños Ciegos". On Nov 24, Ms. Gloria Isidro made a presentation about the IYA2009 and adapted astronomy materials for students and teachers of the school.

The University of Puerto Rico at Bayamón became a participant of the International Year of Astronomy, with two concurrent activities: The Exhibition of FETTU collection of Images "Life of the Stars" from 7 to 11 December 2009 at the Mezzanine of the Library. The conference: "Aliens and Extraterrestrial Life" by Dr. Daniel Altschuler, former Director of Arecibo Observatory, and the presentation of his book "Aliens, Humans, Gods and Stars", held on 8 December to 11:30 am, at the facilities of the UPR Bayamón. This Conference attracted the attention of about 100 attendees, including students, teachers and general public. The presence of Chancellor Dr Arturo Aviles González raised the profile of activity. Given the proximity of the Exhibition dates to the dates of final exams there was a large amount of students at the library, so it is estimated that over 2,000 students walked by the images, many looking at them closely. These activities were organized by the Department of Physics, UPR Bayamón, under the direction of Dr. Javier Avalos, Director of the Physics Department and sponsored by the Puerto Rico NASA Space Grant Consortium.

Children and adults alike enjoyed the FETTU exhibit at The Mayfair Shopping Centre. Seven SONY wide screen TVs exhibited the FETTU images. SONY has been fantastic. In fact we couldn't have done FETTU 1.0 or 2.0 without their support in particular local manager Craig Allan, an amateur astronomy-lover (we discovered later!) himself.

New York, NY: FETTU at the World Science Festival

Washington Square Park of New York City was transformed into a "science wonderland" on Sunday, June 14, 2009 when the World Science Festival Youth and Family Street Fair returned for its second year. This time, the "From Earth to the Universe" astronomical image exhibit was featured in the central area of the park with about 15 double-sided image stands in a circle around a beautiful fountain (good thing the printed images are waterproof, the fountain mist goes far when the wind picks up!). Thousands of kids and their families, dog-walkers and many passers-by enjoyed a day with beautiful astronomy images, non-stop games, and a lot of entertaining activities designed with science themes in mind.

The first of the exhibitions we had planned was held within the "100 hours of Astronomy" event. It was an absolute success. People kept being amazed when looking at the images, comparing the different scales of objects in the universe and realizing how small the Earth is compared to other objects. More than 5000 people were at the Córdoba Observatory during 2 to 5 April. We have a blog of the event and are planning to take the exhibition through other places in Córdoba.
