Capture the Colorful Cosmos Program Announcement
Join the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, NASA, and the
Association of Science-Technology Centers for a unique, free astronomy
program that includes a professional development opportunity and financial
support for a limited number of visitor-created events. This program is a
celebration of the International Year of Astronomy and the COPUS Year of
Science Month of Astronomy in July. 

From July 20-24, take part in an ASTC Connect online workshop for museum and
astronomy educators. Participants will learn how to access robotic
telescopes, take photographs of planets, galaxies, and nebulae and use image
processing tools to bring out detail in these photos the same way that
professional astronomers do. Registered workshop attendees within the U.S.
can apply to become one of 33 participants to receive a "micro-grant" to
their organization - an award of $1,000 to support the hosting of a
visitor-created exhibition or display. Inspire your visitors to take and
manipulate their own astronomical photographs and create original displays
and exhibits to Capture the Colorful Cosmos! Go to
http://www.cfa.harvard.edu/seuforum/iyacosmos/ and click on "Informal
Educators" for more information. Email [log in to unmask] with your request to
be enrolled in the online workshop.
