Subject: [AstroNet] innovative ways of doing astronomy outreach


> Hi All
>
> This is something that we have not yet done at HartRAO but I think it
> could work. "load shedding" = opportunity to do outreach. Eskom publishes
> the times and areas that will be without electricity (without light). As
> astronomy outreach facility you can target a particular area within your
> radius, alongside the Eskom advert, you can advertise that there will be
> sky viewing at a central area.I think the turnout could be amazing, people
> are bored without electricity (lets give something to do beside crime).
>
> Its going to be like this for the next 10 years, we might as well take
> advantage.
