The project will produce a range of short, high quality clips for mobile planetariums based on current astrophysics research which will:- Engage and inspire a wide range of audiences. Particularly, to inspire KS3 and 4 students, to keep them engaged with science at key age when they can become switched off from science.- Targeting the new content we develop at mobile domes allows us to engage with audiences which are traditionally harder to engage with current research, such as audiences in isolated locations and regions of lower socio-economic status. - Help planetarium professionals tackle some of the 'big questions' in astronomy.- Raising science capital, mobile planetarium are very popular with schools and other local groups or in use at fairs. By providing them with cutting edge research we hope to raise science capital of the audience who attend these.- Science Technology Engineering and Maths (STEM) subjects as a Career Path. Some of these clips will include personal stories of our astronomers to inspire audiences, particularly school students to show STEM as a viable and enjoyable career path. We are especially interested in making these appealing to female students (see more details in the summary). These resources will all be available for free.

该项目将根据当前的天体物理学研究为移动天文馆制作一系列短而高质量的剪辑，这将：-吸引和激励广泛的观众。特别是要激励中三和中四的学生，让他们在关键年龄接触科学，因为他们可能会对科学失去兴趣。-针对我们在移动圆顶上开发的新内容，使我们能够与传统上难以参与当前研究的受众进行接触，例如偏远地区和社会经济地位较低地区的受众。-帮助天文馆专业人员解决天文学中的一些“大问题”。-流动天文馆在学校和其他地方团体中很受欢迎，或在博览会上使用，以筹集科学资金。通过向他们提供前沿研究，我们希望为参加这些活动的观众筹集科学资本。-科学技术工程和数学（STEM）科目作为职业道路。其中一些片段将包括我们天文学家的个人故事，以激励观众，特别是学生，向他们展示STEM是一条可行且令人愉快的职业道路。我们特别感兴趣的是让这些东西吸引女学生（详见摘要）。这些资源都是免费的。
