JAC at AstroDay 2K2
The Joint Astronomy Centre was very proud to be a part of AstroDay 2K2 on 20th April
2002. This huge event at Prince Kuhio Plaza, Hilo, featured many of
the Mauna Kea observatories as well as Hawaiian culture exhibits, a
Kid's Corner, and other activities.
On the JAC display we had posters about JCMT and UKIRT, a beautiful
panoramic picture of the summit taken by Robin Phillips, an UFTI image
of Orion, more UKIRT science from Frontiers magazine, and the PPARC
schools poster "Is there life out there?".
We also had the Birthday Stars program, a scale model of the JCMT,
and leaflets about JAC.
Thanks go to everyone who helped out on the JAC stand, and of
course to Gary Fujihara, the AstroDay coordinator, without whom the
event would not have happened.
