Hubble 25th Anniversary

Just sharing this as it may be of interest:

Dear All,

As part of Hubble's 25th anniversary celebrations we have two initiatives

that might interest list members.

1) We are offering high-quality large-format (around 3x3m) prints of

Hubble’s anniversary image for display at European-based science centres,

museums, planetariums, nature centres and other informal education venues

interested in doing an event or unveiling on the 23 April 2015 in

celebration of the anniversary.

More information and application form here:

https://www.spacetelescope.org/Hubble25/imageunveilings/

2) If you are interested in making short films and in winning a piece of

Hubble's actual solar array - which spent 3 years in Space - then we also

have a short film competition "Ode to Hubble".

The competition is for videos of three minutes or less and as long as they

are Hubble-inspired in some way can take any form you like.

More information and application details here:

http://www.spacetelescope.org/Hubble25/odetohubble/

Let me know if you would like any further details and please share and send

to anyone you think might be interested.

Many thanks,

Georgia
