Cosmic Chronicles: Modern astronomy seen through stories from history and culture

该项目的基本原理来自于对太阳的一次千载难逢的访问的非凡成功，以及我们决心不失去它所获得的东西。因此，该项目的总体目标是：-利用太阳的两大优势——天文学研究和文化联系，通过吸引观众的惊奇和喜悦，制定一个保持太阳精神的活动计划。-针对去年来参观SUN装置的许多人和学校，并在今年（2024年9月5日星期四至9月11日星期三）的七天节日期间为他们提供装置，活动和活动的后续活动。-展示天文学研究的前沿如何与生活的直接历史和文化方面联系起来，以及深入观察和提出问题的能力。-从长远来看，进一步丰富学校和社区的科学资本。这些将由：1；在与个人和机构的对话中，开发并提供一系列主题装置、活动、研讨会和讲座——这是今年计划的核心内容。为学校访问，特别是来自外岛的学校访问制定具体的计划。在能源和技术公司对SUN的非常成功的支持的基础上，让他们支持这个新的一揽子活动，并与节日和社区建立联系。潜在的背景是奥克尼的地理位置偏远-以及它通过创造自己的解决方案来解决这个问题的传统。这使得奥克兰人开辟了世界著名的考古发掘，建立了可再生能源产业，测试了新的波浪和潮汐技术，开创了氢运输的先河，并开发了一系列独特的节日。奥克尼岛支持创新的传统使OISF在1991年得到了群岛理事会和社区的大力支持。为了蓬勃发展，电影节必须有风格地做事，不断创新想法和合作伙伴关系。它的目的是创造一种奇妙的感觉，吸引所有年龄的人，对他们来说，科学似乎远离日常生活，然后把他们带回来探索更多。去年，圣马格努斯大教堂的太阳提供了这种奇妙的感觉，我们围绕它建立了关于太阳和恒星主题的活动。从我们成立之初，已故的格拉斯哥大学天文学教授阿奇·e·罗伊（Archie E. Roy）就一直是一个强有力的主题。我们的总体目标是：-通过互动装置和展示，即“重力合成”，“彗星的不完美描述”和RAS 200周年纪念被子，增加对天文学及其进步的理解。-通过简化引力波和历史天文事件等复杂话题，提高观众的参与度，特别是家庭和年轻人的参与度。-透过实践工作坊，加深对历史及当代天文工具的了解。-通过展示当地的背景，如布罗德加尼斯的发掘和布罗德加环的郊游，以及将当地民间传说与宇宙事件联系起来，增加对天文学历史意义/进步的了解。-以艺术、音乐和科学相结合的创新方式，提高公众对天文学的观察和诠释能力。-通过与鼓舞人心的演讲者和榜样互动，展示前沿科学研究，提高人们对天文学相关职业的热情

The rationale for the project comes from the extraordinary success of the once-in-a-lifetime visit of the SUN and our determination not to lose what has been gained by it. Therefore, the overall aims of the project are to: - Put on a programme of events keeping up the spirit of the SUN by drawing in audiences for wonder and delight, using the two deep SUN strengths - astronomy research and cultural links. - Target the many people and schools who came to the SUN Installation last year and give them a follow-up with installations, events and activities throughout the seven days Festival this year (Thursday 5 to Wednesday 11 September 2024). - Show how the cutting-edge of astronomy research can be linked to direct historical and cultural aspects of life and the ability to look deeper and ask questions. - Build further on the enrichment of science capital for schools and community for the longer term.These will be delivered by: 1. Developing and delivering in dialogue with individuals and institutions a mix of themed installations, activities, workshops and talks - a centrepiece for this year's programme2. Putting together specific packages for schools visits, particularly from the outer islands3. Building on the very successful support of the energy and technology companies for the SUN, to bring them to support for this new package of events and links with festival and communityThe underlying background is Orkney's geographical remoteness - and its tradition of tackling this by creating its own solutions. This has led Orcadians to open up world-renowned archaeological excavations and build a renewable energy industry testing new wave and tidal technology and pioneering hydrogen for transport - and to develop a range of distinctive festivals. Orkney's tradition of backing innovation led to the development of OISF in 1991 with strong support from the Islands Council and community. To thrive, the Festival had to do things in style, continually innovating with ideas and partnerships. It aims to create a feeling of wonder, to bring in people of all ages for whom science seems distant from daily life, and then bring them back to explore more. Last year SUN in St Magnus Cathedral provided that sense of wonder, around which we built activities on solar and stellar topics. Astronomy has been a strong theme since our earliest years, when the late Archie E. Roy, professor of astronomy at Glasgow University, travelled around the islands with talks.The overall impact we aim for is: - Increase the understanding of astronomy and its advancement through the interactive installations and displays, i.e., "Gravity Synth", "An Imperfect Account of a Comet" and RAS bicentennial quilt. - Increase audience engagement and participation, especially with families and young people by simplifying complex topics such as gravitational waves and historic astronomical events. - Enhance understanding of historical and contemporary astronomical tools through hand-on workshops. - Increase knowledge of historical significance/advancements in astronomy by showcasing local context such as excavations at the Ness of Brodgar and outings to Ring of Brodgar and linking local folklore with cosmic occurrences. - Enhance observational and interpretive skills of public audience in astronomy through creative ways of combining art, music and science. - Increased enthusiasm in astronomy-related careers by engaging with inspirational presenters and role models and and showcasing cutting-edge scientific research
