National Federation of the Blind Youth Slam

The International Year of Astronomy continues to reach new audiences! Photographs from the "From Earth to the Universe" (FETTU) gallery were viewed by people all over the world in a variety of venues. A tactile version of the FETTU exhibit, based on the book Touch the Invisible Sky by Grice, Steel and Daou, was also created so people could explore the multi-wavelength universe non-visually, by touch.

On July 20, 2011 the tactile FETTU exhibition opened at the National Federation of the Blind (NFB) headquarters in Baltimore, Maryland. The images were examined by students attending the National Federation of the Blind Youth Slam—an innovative STEM enrichment program for high school students who are blind or have low vision. Noreen Grice was a course instructor for the Youth Slam Space Track and was on-site at the exhibition debut. She verbally described the color images as students explored the tactile counterparts by touch. The tactile FETTU exhibition will now be on permanent display at the National Federation of the Blind and will continue to excite a new generation of science enthusiasts.

World Science Festival, NYC, NY

The 2010 World Science Festival came to a climatic end with its Street Fair. This is the third year for this ambitious science festival that seems to take over Manhattan for several days. This year's Street Fair spilled out from Washington Square Park into the streets around it. Like last year, the Street Fair showcased Chandra images as part of the "From Earth to the Universe" project. The FETTU panels were arranged around the fountain in the middle of the park, providing a nice route for people to circle. The mood of the festival's attendees was excited and upbeat —which is saying something on a very hot and humid day in New York City.

Burgess Hill Primary Schools, Burgess Hill, England

You can tell from the kids faces that it is doing its job in terms of 'awe and wonder' (and it continues to do so, as the images have been seen by 2000+ children during their tour of the local primary schools and are now part of a legacy of resources available to all teachers in the locality...)

Many thanks to all at FETTU for allowing us to be involved with this wonderful project. -- Karen Ashworth

Stockholm (and surrounding areas), Sweden

Our exhibition "Utblick-tillbakablick" (something like "Outlook-looking back") follows Galileo Galilei's discoveries and drawings with modern images and extends further and further out (and longer and longer back in time) through cosmos to the very limits of our visible Universe. The images are 1.7 x 1 m plus a column with very little text, poetic rather than scientific, and then more information on all images can be viewed on the 10th and last poster. Some images were kindly provided by FETTU (recognized on the 10th screen).

The exhibition has been a success, and started outdoor in central Stockholm, at that time with "terrorist-safe" feet. Then it has been touring mainly indoor, 3 - 4 weeks at each place, the Stockholm Concert Hall (Berwaldhallen), Stockholm University, Örebro University, Jönköping College Library, The science centre "Kreativum" in Karlshamn, The town of Kalmar at the inauguration of the "Linné University". And it is now in the check-in hall of Mamö Airport, and the tour will continue...

Thousands of people have seen it by now, and the feedback is very positive. The following images are from: Kungsträdgården, Kreativum, and Malmö Airport. -- Gösta Gahm

Novi Sad

FETTU was also displayed in Novi Sad, second biggest town in the Republic of Serbia. We had two short-term exhibitions, displaying images as part of the recent events that had been held in Novi Sad during May, 2010. The first exhibition was exhibited as part of the Night of Museums event that was held on the 15th of May, 2010. The organisation of the exhibition was helped by Astronomical Society Novi Sad (ADNOS) and Department of Physics, Faculty of Sciences, Novi Sad. During eight-hour long exhibition we had around 2 500 visitors, who showed an immense interest for the images, patiently queuing outside the building despite the rain and bad weather.

NASA-FETTU Arkansas exhibit, Fayetteville, AR

Many people, students and community members, stopped by the exhibit after seeing it from the bus as they passed by. All of the city busses must drive past the exhibit on route to the main hub which is 100 yards away. This road is for busses only and passes within 10 feet of the exhibit. The city bus system is a free service, provided by the University, for everyone in the community. It carries 1.3 million annually, so with the exhibit out two months a percentage of those people left the bus hub and returned to the exhibit.

Sofia, Bulgaria

Between March 22nd and April 21st 2010 Astronomical association-Sofia and Sofia Municipality welcome the inhabitants and visitors of the Bulgarian capital in the gardens of the National Theatre, where the exhibition "From the Earth to the Universe" is exposed. This event is a continuation of the program of Astronomical association-Sofia to celebrate the International Year of Astronomy 2009, following its logo "The Universe—yours to discover!". During the opening ceremony, the mayor of Sofia Mrs. Yordanka Fandakova, expressed her support for the amateur astronomers community and wished us all to be gathered soon under the stellar dome of a future planetarium in the capital. This open air exhibition, kindly supported by programme "Culture" of Sofia Municipality, turned into an interactive event. Every curious visitor is very welcome to glimpse at the Moon, Mars or Saturn, through the telescopes of Astronomical association-Sofia, of course when the weather conditions allow it. -- Mariya Lyubenova

These pictures are from the opening of FETTU in Sofia, which happened on October 28 2009 in the Art Gallery in the National Palace of Culture in Sofia. The exhibition continued until November 13th. The exhibition had a HUGE success!!! It gathered more than 200 people on the opening day. In the following 2 weeks we tried to make the exhibition site a real classroom for informal astronomical education, by having popular astronomy talks (~7 per day), showing movies, going out to the city square after 7 pm to observe the Moon, Jupiter and else everything visible on the light-polluted city sky. It was a great reward to see the happy faces of people, who have the chance to glimpse for the first time the Moon craters! Our target group was reached! The Sofia municipality continues to be very interested in FETTU. We expect to reopen the exhibition next year in March, around the Spring equinox, under open skies and have even more people see it for longer time. -- Mariya Lyubenova (on behalf of the FETTU in Sofia organising committee: Boriana Bontcheva, Mariya Lyubenova, Radoslav Marinov - REME-Juniour, Valeri Genkov, Vesselina Kalinova, Velimir Popov, Georgi Latev, Nikola Karavasilev, Nikolai Katcharov, and all the members of Astronomical association - Sofia)
