Galileoscope Update: Galileoscope Orders
As announced last month by the IYA2009 Secretariat, orders for the Galileoscope are now being taken at www.galileoscope.org, and delivery of telescope kits will commence in late April. We've received many queries from SPoCs asking if they need to place a new order now, or if the earlier pre-order will suffice. The answer is, YOU NEED TO PLACE A NEW ORDER NOW (if you haven't already done so); filling out the pre-order form was NOT the same as placing an actual order.

To initiate a large order of 100+ kits, if you haven't already done so, please fill out the Request for Quotation form at https://www.galileoscope.org/gs/sites/galileoscope.org.gs/files/Galileoscope-RFQ.doc and send it by e-mail to freight@galileoscope.org.

News round-up, 27 March 2009

27 March 2009

It's stopped raining *and* it's time for a news round-up. It is a good day!

The IYA2009 Cornerstone Project She is an Astronomer is moving up a gear, as evidenced by an Astronomy Now Online article. It documents a UK event, "She is an Astronomer, She is a Rocket Scientist", hosted by the Guildford Astronomical Society. Three female scientists discussed their astronomy careers with an interested audience, including students considering dedicating their lives to the best science ever.

Another Astronomy Now feature has delved into the Cosmic Diary: Greenwich 1894 sub-blog. It provides a concise yet comprehensive overview of the project, and is definitely worthy of attention. Look out for the photo of former Astronomer Royal William Christie, who has wonderful hair and a spiffing moustache. The Cosmic Diary has been listed on the CSS Based site for good design, but no-one has commented on it yet. You'd like to write some good things there, wouldn't you?

And now, time for a public outreach event. Get Wokingham has alerted us to a star party this weekend at Dinton Pastures Country Park (UK). The theme is "staring into space", which is surely the theme of every star party? The event sounds very well organised, and is clearly the pride of Reading Astronomical Society's Gerry Bond. Maybe the photo is of him, looking happy as can be next to his telescope. There are even talks, exhibitions and photographs in case it rains. STOP PRESS! The final line includes a quote saying "It's amazing to think we have a wide range of people, who all share an interest in astrology." Astrology? That must be a mistake, surely. Gerry, get on the case!

JSOnline has just mentioned a new series of shows at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee's Manfred Olson Planetarium, hosted by astronomer Jean Creighton (of Cosmic Diary fame). The planetarium is also participating in 100 Hours of Astronomy, which is coming very very soon! One of the 100HA events is a 24-hour webcast, called "Around the World in 80 Telescopes". Observatories around the world will be featured, finishing up at Palomar, says the National Science Foundation.

Important news now, especially for dark skies enthusiasts and Scottish folks. Astronomy reports that the world's first Dark Sky Discovery Sites have been announced as Newbattle Abbey College in Dalkeith and Highland Council's Glen Nevis Visitor Centre grounds, near Fort William (UK). They will be excellent places to go stargazing away from artificial lighting. Quote of the Week, from the communities and green spaces officer: "This might seem to be an odd thing for Scottish Natural Heritage, along with the Scottish government, to fund, but it isn't." 

Because you've been good this week and have read to the end, you deserve a video-based treat. RTE.ie provides, with a news report on the Cork Parade in Ireland. The theme was "Cosmic Chaos" and over 2000 people joined in the festivities. Here's a brief review of the clip, with timestamps:

00:07: Presenter fluffs the word "astronauts". Not a good start.
00:31: Namechecking IYA2009. Redeemed.
00:45: NASA astronaut Dan Tani, probably a bit baffled by it all.
01:00: Cork's Indian community is involved. IYA2009 brings people together!
01:09: Ming the Merciless? What's he doing there?
01:19: Great green alien costume. I want one.
01:21: How do pirates fit into the theme? Put some effort in, girls.
01:23: Should the video be repeating?

That's it for now, so go and prepare for 100 Hours of Astronomy!

First Dark Sky Discovery Sites Announced in Scotland

26 March 2009

To celebrate the International Year of Astronomy 2009, the world's first Dark Sky Discovery Sites were unveiled yesterday at Newbattle Abbey College in Dalkeith.

The Dark Sky Scotland partnership named the two sites as Newbattle Abbey College and Highland Council's Glen Nevis Visitor Centre grounds, near Fort William. The two sites, which are relatively free of light pollution, tall buildings and are safe and accessible, were chosen following a winter of community astronomy activities led by the John Muir Trust, the Highland Council Countryside Rangers and the Forestry Commission Scotland.

Dan Hillier, from the Royal Observatory Edinburgh Visitor Centre, which is supported by the UK Science and Technology Facilities Council and the University of Edinburgh, and which leads the Dark Sky Scotland partnership, said: "Many of us live in light polluted towns and cities yet in every community there is somewhere that is the best local place to go to look up and discover the stars. From these places, which might be a park or playing field, you can see planets, hundreds of stars, space satellites and other wonders of the night sky. The organizations that have identified these first two Dark Sky Discovery Sites have taken a world leading role in helping people to discover the Universe that is on their doorsteps."

The announcement of the sites took place yesterday at Newbattle Abbey College, Scotland's only adult education residential college. Depute Principal at the College, Norah Fitzcharles, said: "Newbattle Abbey College is delighted to be designated as a Dark Sky Discovery Site. We hope that this will encourage students, staff and members of local community groups who live in an urban environment, to discover the night sky. As a college, our main function is to provide learning experiences which will engage, inspire and educate people helping them develop an enquiring mind."

Jeremy Thompson of Forestry Commission Scotland, which works closely with Newbattle Abbey College to benefit the local community, said: "Woodlands are a fantastic place to view the stars from. Not only do you get a still silence but it adds a natural feel to the whole experience of stargazing. This project is a great example of adding a new and exciting dimension to visiting a woodland at night."

Councilor Iain Ross of The Highland Council's Planning, Environment and Development Committee said: "There are wonderful opportunities in the Highlands to view and experience the fascination of planets and space. Glen Nevis is an accessible location which offers a site free of light pollution and one where people can enjoy a range of community activities."

"Many people visit Glen Nevis from developed areas with lots of light pollution and are often amazed to see shooting stars, the Milky Way and entire constellations at night in Scotland's wilder places," commented Alison Austin, Nevis Conservation Officer for the John Muir Trust. "It is great that Dark Skies Discovery Sites can highlight places like this and help people discover the night sky."

Catriona Morrison, communities and green spaces officer for Scottish Natural Heritage which, alongside the Scottish Government and the Institute for Physics Scotland, funded the program, said: "This might, at first sight, seem to be an odd thing for SNH to fund but it isn't.

We are very keen to encourage people in urban areas to get out and enjoy the green spaces where they live. Looking up into the night sky and wondering at the beauty of the stars is one way of doing this and the night sky itself is an often forgotten part of our heritage. "I hope this initiative will be a great success and will give many more people the opportunity to have an enjoyable time outdoors. This project will also help to raise awareness of the importance of places where people can appreciate the night sky. "

More Dark Sky Discovery Sites will be identified during 2009 by organizations involved in the Dark Sky Scotland program and similar Dark Sky programs in other parts of the UK and Ireland. A similar initiative is being set up in the United States.

The participants at the launch carried out simple light pollution measurements and fed their findings into the international Globe at Night survey, 16-28 March. Many public stargazing events will take around the UK during the Spring Moonwatch, 28 March - 5 April.

Notes:

The Dark Sky Scotland partners are the Royal Observatory Edinburgh Visitor Centre, Glasgow Science Centre, the Institute for Physics Scotland, Careers Scotland and the Forestry Commission Scotland, working with amateur and research astronomers in Scotland.

100 Hours of Astronomy Update

26 March 2009

NEW - Sky maps  for April 2009  form Skymaps.com
April 2009 sky maps are now available for the 100 Hours of Astronomy events.  Sky maps are for the Northern Hemisphere, Southern Hemisphere, and Equatorial Regions.
Available in English, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil), French, Portuguese, and Turkish languages. Free to copy and distribute to the public at 100HA or IYA events worldwide. Download from
http://Skymaps.com/downloads.html


NEW 100HA Partner - Yuri's Night - April 4-12 in 2009
We welcome our new partner Yuri's Night. This is a worldwide annual celebration of humanity's achievements in space. Traditionally held on April 12th, the anniversary of Yuri Gagarin's first manned launch and the launch of the first space shuttle, Yuri's Night is being held from April 4-12 in 2009 to provide a wider variety of event opportunities. Yuri's Night events can range from stargazing nights to academic poster presentations to all-night dance fests--and sometimes all three! Over 50 countries hosted nearly 200 Yuri's Night events last year, including celebrations at the NASA Ames Research Center, Russia, and the South Pole. Yuri's Night is extremely proud to be working with the 100 Hours of Astronomy to increase participation in astronomical fields and awareness of astronomy and outer space. For more information on Yuri's Night, visit www.yurisnight.net  

'How to Register your event'  new translation. A big thank you to Nazar Sallam from Emirates Mobile Observatory http://www.falakuae.com:8o/  for working hard on our newest translation, 'How to Register' your 100HA event document.  We now have a Arabic version. It is available for download here http://www.100hoursofastronomy.org/eventsmain   

Opening Event and Science Centre  Live Webcasts - Start Times updated. The 100HA Opening Event start time has been revised - 2 April 2009, 11.00 EST (16.00UT) The science centre webcast start time has been updated and revised.  -  1.00pm EDT (17:00 UTC)
These webcasts will be hosted by the Franklin Institute on the occasion of the opening of their special exhibition, "Galileo" which features the original Galileo telescope.   Further details on both these events can be found on the 100HA Program Page http://www.100hoursofastronomy.org/program      

Galileoscope Update: Galileoscope Orders

25 March 2009

 As announced last month by the IYA2009 Secretariat, orders for the Galileoscope are now being taken at www.galileoscope.org, and delivery of telescope kits will commence in late April. We've received many queries from SPoCs asking if they need to place a new order now, or if the earlier pre-order will suffice. The answer is, YOU NEED TO PLACE A NEW ORDER NOW (if you haven't already done so); filling out the pre-order form was NOT the same as placing an actual order.

You can order small numbers of Galileoscopes with payment by credit card or PayPal at www.galileoscope.org. The cost is US$15 per kit plus shipping by postal/parcel service. But that is not the best way for SPoCs to order.

SPoCs, museums, planetariums, schools, astronomy clubs, and other institutions wishing to order 100 or more Galileoscopes can get a discounted price of US$12.50 per kit, save on shipping via bulk freight service, and pay by purchase order. To initiate a large order of 100+ kits, if you haven't already done so, please fill out the Request for Quotation form at https://www.galileoscope.org/gs/sites/galileoscope.org.gs/files/Galileoscope-RFQ.doc and send it by e-mail to freight@galileoscope.org.

We know that many SPoCs and other customers have encountered problems when placing orders and/or have been frustrated by a lack of responsiveness from the Galileoscope team. We sincerely apologize for these inconveniences. There are several explanations. First and foremost, this is a BIG project run by a SMALL, ALL-VOLUNTEER staff; we're diligently following up on all issues, but it's taking longer than any of us would like. Second, despite extensive prelaunch testing, we discovered some configuration problems with our website only after it went live; as a result, some customers didn't receive e-mail confirmations of their orders -- we will manually re-send these confirmations as soon as we can track them all down. Third, the service we're using to approve credit-card transactions was too restrictive and rejected many valid international credit cards; if you tried to place an order and had your credit card refused, please try again -- your credit card should be approved now.

More information about the Galileoscope project, including complete specifications and links to free educational materials, is available at www.galileoscope.org. Remember, Galileoscopes will begin shipping to customers in late April 2009.
