The James Webb Space Telescope: Immersive engagement for all in Planetarium domes

英国天文学会是一个由天文馆专业人员组成的网络，他们在英国境内的空间科学教育、公众参与和交流方面发挥着重要的、高度影响的作用。在科学中心和天文台的固定天文馆设施和较小的、可移动的移动穹顶之间，英国很少有地区是我们的成员没有到达的。大型天文馆主要位于城市，有一个不断扩大的集水区，移动穹顶延伸到农村学校，并延伸到服务不足的社区。英国天文馆穹顶每年覆盖超过150万儿童和成年人。这些参观者中有75万人有由演讲者领导的天文馆体验。这个项目旨在用詹姆斯·韦伯太空望远镜(JWST)背后的奇妙故事、科学、工程和人来激励和吸引这些天文馆的观众。它将产生特殊和独特的图形内容，可以投射到圆顶的180度表面，在天文球顶内创造出完全沉浸和迷人的JWST体验。我们的目标是提高人们对英国参与JWST任务的认识、兴奋和自豪，分享令人惊叹的科学、技术和工程，并庆祝使这项任务独一无二的多样化团队。超过15万名儿童和成年人将体验包括这些内容的天文馆表演，这些内容将在项目期后用于支持公众对JWST任务的持续参与。此外，该项目的一个关键目标是确保所有人都能分享这项英国科学：所有年龄、性别、能力、信仰和背景。将注意和考虑确保天文馆内容的设计、开发和交付具有多样性和社会包容性，以支持所有受众。我们希望所有人都能受到启发，参与进来，并能够认同这个项目中庆祝的故事、科学和人们。为了支持这一目标，流动天文馆将在有限的时间内向多重剥夺指数(或英国相当于国家)较高地区的学校提供补贴费用。通过定制、醒目的图形和多样化设计的资源，直到面向天文馆专业人员的全国性活动，展示STFC科学家并突出英国天文馆网络的包容性沟通和专业化方法，该项目将在英国天文协会领导其成员接触新受众和传播STFC科学和技术的方式上迈出一步。

The British Association of Planetaria is a network of planetarium professionals who play a significant, high-impact role in the education, public engagement and communication of space sciences within the UK. Between the fixed planetarium facilities at science centres and observatories and the smaller, mobile, travelling domes, there are very few areas of the UK that are not reached by our members. Large planetaria are mainly based in cities and have a spreading catchment, the mobile domes reach out into rural schools and travel to under-served communities.The total reach of UK Planetarium domes is over 1.5 million children and adults every year. 750,000 of these visitors have a presenter-led planetarium experience. This project aims to inspire and involve these planetarium audiences with the fantastic stories, science, engineering and people behind the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). It will produce exceptional and unique graphical content that can be projected across the 180 degree surface of the dome to create a fully immersive and captivating experience of the JWST inside the planetarium dome. We aim to raise awareness, excitement and pride for the UK involvement in the JWST mission, share the breath-taking science, technology and engineering and celebrate the diverse team that makes this mission unique.Over 150,000 children and adults will experience planetarium shows that include this content, which will be used far beyond the project period to support ongoing public engagement with the JWST mission. In addition, a key objective of this project is to ensure that this UK science is shared with all: all ages, genders, abilities, beliefs and backgrounds. Care and consideration will be taken to ensure that the design, development and delivery of the planetarium content has diversity and social inclusion embedded, in order to support all audiences. We hope that all will be inspired, engaged and be able to identify with the stories, science and people celebrated in this project. To support this aim, mobile planetarium visits will be available for a limited time at a subsidised cost for schools in areas high on the Index of Multiple Deprivation (or UK national equivalent). Through bespoke, eye-catching graphics and resources with diversity designed in, through to a national event for planetarium professionals which showcases STFC scientists and highlights inclusive methods of communication and professionalisation of the UK planetarium network, this project will be a step-change in the way in which the British Association of Planetaria lead their members in reaching new audiences and disseminating STFC science and technology.
