Astronomy in the news

Unread post by McLeansvilleAppFan » Tue Nov 26, 2013 7:59 pm

If I can be a bit vain for a minute and at the same time destroy any level of being anonymous on this board I would like to direct your attention to Page A2 of the Greensboro News and Record from the 26 Nov 2013 edition.

The photo is of my Astronomy class. This activity ended up getting media coverage from the News and Record, WFMY-TV, the in-house GCS-TV channel and an anonymous benefactor paid to have a private crew come in and film all of this for two days and we will have a fun "mockumentary" of all of this in a week of so. For the mockumentary I was able to have an AppState logo on one of the telescopes that should be in frame. Thanks for the stickers YesAppCan.

Here is the newspaper link, if it works

This may be behind a paywall however.

WFMY did a spot but I don't think it ever saw air-time at least not yet. If you live in Guilford County and ever bother to watch the GCS TV channel on Time Warner or U-Verse there should also be a spot on that channel, but I am not sure when it will air.

It may have been free for a day or two. I have an account as a subscriber and GCS employees have a free digital only account it seems as well.

If I get a chance to download the picture and caption I will and post to some location for a few days. I'll look into this later in the day.

I found a way to make a PDF of just the one page with the photo. I have this up on the same Google Drive I do the SoCon Cup Points. Anyone with the link should have access, but I will take this down in a week or so more than likely. Thanks for your interest.

It took some time to edit the video it appears, but here is an internal GCS TV spot about the activity

This should run on the GCS cable channel a few times a day for a few days as well, but they also post the videos to youtube.
