Astronomy in the Park - Landscape and Skyscape

该项目旨在进一步提高通常不从事天文学工作的受众和与天文学没有传统联系的地点的天文学认识。它将展示天文学如何成为一个脚踏实地的话题，以及赫歇尔和普朗克等太空望远镜成像的壮观物体在现在和过去如何用肉眼可见。这些经历可以塑造我们作为公民在我们的景观中的位置感。此外，参加者还将有机会体验光污染如何影响对夜空的探索，以及如何阻碍对一些古代遗址的完整体验。尽管英国广播公司的节目如《观星直播》和《宇宙奇观》激发了人们对天文学的兴趣，但人们仍然认为天文学是在夜间或在地球或太空中使用昂贵的望远镜进行的。然而，基本的天文学知识和探究性的观察可以在例如农村的古代遗址得到支持。此外，这不是什么新奇的事情，而是在整个千年中发生的。我们的历史和祖先的信仰已经通过这种观测天文学强烈地塑造了，并被封装在古老的纪念碑中。整体影响将导致人们意识到天文学可以被任何人和任何地方观察，包括发现我们的银河系和仙女座星系等天体。参与者将把光污染与文化遗产和与他们相关的东西的损失联系起来，从而更加积极地支持减少光污染的措施和在峰区国家公园建立黑暗天空保护区。由于支持在户外课堂上学习包括天文学在内的科学的工作是D博士开展的研究工作的一部分。布朗先生说，该项目的成果将进一步用于改善对学校此类学习和教学的支持。最重要的是，黑暗天空小组-业余天文学家协会，大学和峰区国家公园管理局（PDNPA）的网络-将在他们的教育工作中提高认识，以解决光污染和建立黑暗天空保护区。

This project aims to further raise astronomy awareness in audiences not normally engaged in astronomy and at locations not conventionally associated to astronomy. It will demonstrate how astronomy can be a down-to-Earth topic and how spectacular objects imaged by space telescopes such as Herschel and Plank are visible to the naked eye now and in our past. These experiences can shape our sense of place as citizens within our landscape. Furthermore, participants will have the opportunity to experience how light pollution can spoil exploring the night sky and impede a complete experience of some ancient sites.Even though BBC programs such as Stargazing Live and Wonders of the Universe have inspired and raised interest in astronomy, it is still thought to be something carried out at night or with expensive telescopes on Earth or in Space. However, basic astronomy knowledge and inquisitive observing can be supported at e.g. ancient sites in the countryside. Furthermore, this is not something novel, but has taken place throughout the millennia. Our history and beliefs of our ancestors have been strongly shaped through this observational astronomy and have been encapsulated in ancient monuments.The overall impact would result in a realisation that astronomy can be observed by anyone and everywhere, including spotting objects such as our Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy. Participants will associate light pollution with a loss of cultural heritage and something relevant to them, therefore becoming more pro-active in supporting light pollution reduction measures and the establishment of a Dark Skies Reserve in the Peak District National Park.Since work supporting the learning of sciences including astronomy in the outdoor classroom is part of the research work carried out by Dr. D. Brown, the outcomes of this project will be further used to improve supporting such learning and teaching in schools. Most importantly the Dark Sky group – network of amateur astronomer associations, universities, and the Peak District National Park Authority (PDNPA) – will be building upon the increase awareness in their educational work towards tackling light pollution and establishing a Dark Sky Reserve.
