My Moon Campaign

My Moon Campaign is the first joint effort of the Galileo Teacher Training Program (GTTP), one of the cornerstones of IYA2009, and World Space Week Association (WSW), globally celebrating space 4-10 October every year.

Our goal is to engage students in the study of several different aspects of the Moon, using whichever means they have available to reach this purpose: naked eye observations, small telescopes, binoculars, astrophotography, robotic telescopes, webcams, image databases, imagination, creativity, etc. and submit a report, present a project, an essay, anything that will make our natural satellite worthy of being called “My Moon” by the student.


International Asteroid Search Campaign

International Asteroid Search Campaign

The International Asteroid Search Campaign (IASC) is a program for high school and college students who search just hours-old astronomical images for original discoveries. These discoveries include Main Belt asteroids and near-Earth objects (NEOs). Students download the images on a daily basis, perform the analysis with provided software tools, and report their discoveries, which ultimately are recognized by the Minor Planet Center (MPC; Harvard University) and the International Astronomical Union (IAU).
