Global Rent A Scope joins the StarPals Network
Expanding our universe one child at a time.
Global Rent A Scope is supporting the StarPals Network by donating $150 worth of telescope time to each child who joins StarPals and wants to use our robotic telescopes to take their own deep space images.
The StarPals "Tour of the Universe by Children of the World" will be a beautiful and inspirational compilation of children's astrophotography, cosmic art, poetry, and photographs and/or mini video clips of children enjoying astronomy--all set to music with part of the lyrics sung in the childrens' own voices and native languages.
StarPals International Young Astronomers' Network is a non-profit project with the goal of providing opportunities for international collaboration between students of all ages within space science education and research.
From now until December 31, 2009, Astronomy.FM will host a web platform where interested kids 16 and under, parents and teachers can sign up for free points to use Global-Rent-A-Scope (GRAS) robotic astrophotography telescopes. Astronomy.FM also is providing a short, easy "how-to" imaging tutorial to help young astroimagers understand how to use the equipment and post their pictures.
