New outreach material for the European Researcher’s Night

The European Researcher’s Night is coming soon and the Athena Community Office (ACO) has prepared new outreach material, which can be found in our Outreach/Material section.

This year we deal with the importance of exploring the Universe at all wavelengths. For kids, we have created black and white images of different celestial objects to be painted in different colours, each one representing a different wavelength.

For the general public, we have created four board compositions with two overlaid images of the same celestial object. The upper image corresponds to images of the objects observed in optical wavelengths, while the lower image corresponds to X-ray observations. To see the Universe either in one frequency or the other, the upper image has flaps that, once lifted, allow the view of the lower image. We recommend printing this material in a foam core board in A3 format.

Finally, we have renovated the Athena photocall with the new design of the satellite.

We invite our community to download this material and enjoy it together with the citizens at the European Researcher's Night on 29th of September 2017.
