Javna promatranja Mjeseca 18. rujna - InOMN

[Zlatko F.K.]

Pozivi na javna teleskopska promatranja učestali su nakon sličnih
aktivnosti tijekom IYA2009.
"Astronomi bez granica" pozivaju na održavanje javnih teleskopskih
promatranja Mjeseca 18. rujna 2010.
(dodatno: javna predavanja o Mjesecu, prezentacije, radionice...):

- Professional and amateur astronomers, astronomy clubs, planetariums,
science centers and all astronomy enthusiasts worldwide are invited to
celebrate Earth's celestial companion, the Moon, Saturday, September
18, 2010.
International Observe the Moon Night (InOMN) follows on the great
success of lunar missions in 2009. NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter
(LRO) has already sent back more close-up images and digital data in
its first year orbiting the Moon than any other planetary mission in
history. In an unprecedented search for water below the Moon's
surface, Lunar CRater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS)
crashed into the Moon's south polar region with the world watching.
InOMN builds on NASA's first celebration of these historic missions
during the International Year of Astronomy 2009. Now, Astronomers
Without Borders (AWB) is partnering with NASA missions and centers,
along with other institutions, to bring the excitement of observing
and learning about Earth's closest neighbor in space to the public -
putting the "International" into InOMN.
"InOMN is a community-based effort where everyone can share the
excitement of lunar exploration with the public by hosting their own
InOMN events", said Mike Simmons, Founder and President of Astronomers
Without Borders. "Public telescope observing events, lectures, school
presentations and workshops, and even online events like TweetUps are
already being planned.", adds Simmons.
Join the celebration. Get others looking up and seeing the Moon...in a
whole new light!
