<b>Congratulations, FETTU!<br>
</b>We are happy to report some more excellent news, courtesy of the
FETTU team. <br>
NASA has approved an Education and Public Outreach proposal, resulting
in approximately $300,000 (US) for use in 2009 and 2010. This money
will fund two semi-permanent FETTU exhibits in Chicago (in conjunction
with the Adler Planetarium) and Atlanta (with Agnes Scott College and
the Hartsfield International Airport), as well as a travelling version
that will have multiple stops across the US. The NASA grant will also
provide FETTU organisers with the ability to create informal education
products, materials for visually impaired users, and evaluation
information. These and other elements that are enabled by the NASA
grant will be shared with FETTU organisers worldwide.<br>

<b>FETTU on a roll!<br>

feature about 50 FETTU images across 30 pages in its annual "Beautiful
Universe" publication. <br>

Those are the key updates for this time. We think they serve to
demonstrate just how much progress is being made in this final leg
before 2009. <br>
Remember that the Secretariat is always willing to assist with any
IYA2009 questions you may have!<br>

Kind regards,<br>
