Planet Doodle

行星涂鸦是一个向公众展示行星和太空科学的项目，主要通过漫画的媒介。每隔两周，行星涂鸦漫画将在一个专门的网站上发布，它将提供人们所希望的对当前太阳系科学研究某些方面的解释。这可以是对一个特定的行星或卫星的总结，一个空间物理学的概念，一个任务及其目标，或者是对如何使用一个特定的仪器来了解更多关于行星和空间科学的解释。在这个项目的三年里，将制作70多部连环画。这些报告将在一个专门的网站上提供给公众，并可作为pdf文件下载，方便打印。这些将免费用于教育目的。行星涂鸦漫画系列将由杰兰特·琼斯制作，他将在绘画活动的基础上进行公开演讲，充分利用行星涂鸦漫画。讲座将针对从小学到本科的一系列听众。行星涂鸦项目的最后一个方面是声音化。这是一种使空间科学主题更容易理解的技术。行星和卫星的图片很容易理解，但是航天器上的许多仪器记录的信息很难解释，比如航天器遇到的离子和电子的能量。其他人已经证明，通过将这些不易获取的数据集转换成声音，它们变得更容易获取，并且有望帮助公众更好地理解各种航天器仪器发回的信息的重要性。通过卡通、演讲和奇怪的太空声音，Planet Doodle将给许多不同的观众带来我们对行星、卫星和彗星研究的兴奋。

Planet Doodle is a project to present the science of the planets and space to the general public, primarily through the medium of cartoons. Every two weeks, a Planet Doodle comic strip will be released on a dedicated website that will provide what's hoped will be an explanation of some aspect of current Solar System scientific research. This can be a summary of a particular planet or moon, a concept in space physics, a mission and its aims, or an explanation of how a particular instrument is used to learn more about planets and space science. During the three years of the project, over 70 comic strips will be produced. These will be available to the public on a dedicated website, and can be downloaded as pdf files for easy printing. These will be free to use for educational purposes. The Planet Doodle comic strip will be produced by Geraint Jones, who will complement his drawing activities with public talks which will make full use of the Planet Doodle cartoons. The talks will be aimed at a range of audiences, from primary school to undergraduate levels.The final aspect of the Planet Doodle project is sonification. This is a technique to make space science topics more accessible. Pictures of planet and moons are easy to understand, but many instruments on spacecraft record information that it more difficult to interpret, such as the energies of ions and electrons that are encountered by a spacecraft. It has already been demonstrated by others that by converting these less accessible data sets into sounds, they become more accessible, and, hopefully, will help the general public better understand the importance of the information sent back by various spacecraft instruments.Through cartoons, talks, and weird space sounds, Planet Doodle will bring to many, varied audiences the excitement of our studies of planets, moons, and comets.
