[AstroNet] Galilean Nights: Jupiter Observation Campaign

[Jun Takahashi]

Dear all on AstroNet
My name is Jun Takahashi. I am a visiting student at SAAO from Japan.
I received a call for Jupiter Observation Campaign from Japan and forward it
to you.
I will be glad if any of you are interested in it.

Regards
Jun

Dear Sirs or Ladies:

I am writing to express my thanks for all the help you
gave me on the "You are Galileo!" project.

Summer has gradually given way to fall here in Tokyo,
as the leaves on the trees have begun to change colors.

In our "You are Galileo!" project, there was already an application of
participation from 167 in the world organization.
We offered about 10,000 "You are Galileo!" telescopes at the price
specially until now.
The number of the astronomical observation sheets which we received is
about 1000.
2600 participating certificates were already sent to the participant.

Four hundred years since Galileo’s telescopic observations
revolutionised our view of the Universe,
the public will once again be turning their attention to the heavens.
People all around the world are encouraged to take part in Galilean Nights
activities on 22-24 October 2009 and experience for themselves the same sense of
awe and wonder that Galileo must have felt.http://www.galileannights.org/

The "You are Galileo!" project and the Galileoscope project
have joined together to promote the observation of Jupiter during
Galilean Nights.

Jupiter Observation Campaign is a plan to want people in the world to
experience surprise when Galileo watched Jupiter with a Telescope for
from 1609 to 1610 about 400 years ago.

Actually, in this time, we can see Jupiter very well!
Would you like Galileo had experience of it , how is it with you?

Why don't you experience that Galileo had 400 years ago with his
Jupiter observation?

Let's download the work-sheet and the observation guidance for the observation
from the web page of this
project,http://www-irc.mtk.nao.ac.jp/~webadm/Galileo-E/index.php
and observe the Jupiter in the individual and the group.
Download, print, and enjoy!

Thank you again for your kind assistance.
Specially, I thank Catherine and Galilean Nights task group members.

Sincerely,

Hide AGATA
