PRESS COVERAGE:

Since our objective is to attract the public into science, we depend on press coverage. Here is a listing of the press coverage we have received to date:

Venus Transit (2004 - India):

Lunar Eclipse (2004 - USA):

  • Even though we were clouded over for the webcast, the BBC called Tim Young for a live interview on the BBC radio program "World News."

Hybrid Eclipse (2005 - Panama):

  • While in Panama, Tim Young and Ron Marsh both gave presentations (Tim Young - "Expeditions to AstronomicalEvents" and Ron Marsh - "Webcasting: Ins and outs"). In both cases, a standing room only crowd filled the 200 seat auditorium and the lecture was broadcast over an intranet to 13 other campuses. An estimated 800 other people watched both presentations.

    1. An article in MSNBC
