With the launch of the NASA Kepler mission less than 3 months away
(2009 Mar 5), I thought now is a good time to alert science
centers/museums about the availability of a major exhibit about
exoplanets, including components specifically about the Kepler
mission. It's Alien Earths (3100 sq ft; $40K for ASTC members),
produced by Space Science Institute and a consortium of NASA
missions, including Kepler.
The itinerary at http://www.astc.org/exhibitions/alien/ialien.htm
indicates that the exhibit is booked through June 2009 and available
thereafter.
Full description may be found at
http://www.astc.org/exhibitions/alien/dalien.htm
http://www.astc.org/exhibitions/alien/walien.htm
and http://www.alienearths.org/
If you are interested in purchasing something smaller--a single table
exhibit modeling how Kepler will be finding planets by the transit
method--contact me and I can connect you with the maker of that
exhibit. Cost for that component of Alien Earths (purchase to keep)
is about $25K.
