From Earth to the Universe: the beauty of science

The International Year of Astronomy 2009 is an unprecedented opportunity to present astronomy to the global public. The Cornerstone project From Earth to the Universe (FETTU) endeavours to bring wonderful astronomical images to a wider audience in non-traditional venues. In delivering these images and the science behind them to public parks, metro stations, art centres and other locations, we wish to engage individuals who might normally ignore or even dislike astronomy, or science in general.
