How about a little trip to the Moon?
With the support astronomy artist Daniela de Paulis together with a team of radio amateurs at Dwingeloo radio telescope in Holland we will have the opportunity to MoonBounce images produced by schools. The campaign will take place during the Global Astronomy Month 2012. If you want to take part on this adventure join us !!

More stars. Less light. Participate in GLOBE at Night!
Bellow a call from the organizers of Globe at Night
Calling all Earthlings! Take a few minutes to get involved in the GLOBE at Night campaign to preserve dark skies! GLOBE at Night is a citizen-science campaign open to people all over the world to raise awareness of the impact of light pollution by inviting citizen-scientists to measure their night sky brightness and report their observations to a website from a computer or smart phone. Light pollution threatens not only our “right to starlight”, but can affect energy consumption, wildlife and health. Through 2011, people in 115 countries contributed 66,000 measurements, making GLOBE at Night one of the most successful light pollution awareness campaigns to date. Please join us to participate in the 2012 campaign an hour after sunset til about 10pm January 14 through 23, February 12 through 21, March 13 through 22, and April 11 through 20. For information and resources, visit us at www.globeatnight.org.
Call for proposals: receive your own free tactile moon
With funding support from Europlanet and Fundación Española para la Ciencia y la Tecnología (FECyT), Observatorio Astronomico of Universidad de Valencia, Spain, manufactured a set tactile moons to be tested by different target groups. If you are interested on receiving one of this 3D printed Moon models, just write a letter of interest, explaining how you would test the tactile moon and what kind of teaching and outreach activities would you develop for this project.
The final model and selected activities will be made freely available at the GTTP website for everyone to enjoy. The users’ feedback will help improve the design and release a final and fully tested tactile model.
