SUMMARY:The Moon
DESCRIPTION:20 July 2019 marks the 50th anniversary of the first Moon landing and the first steps taken on the lunar surface by Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin. This exhibition is programmed to coincide with this significant milestone\, and brings together artistic responses to the celestial body that orbits the Earth. \nFor centuries artists from many cultures have been inspired by the Moon\, the most prominent feature of our night sky. The exhibition includes historical works created when the Moon could only be viewed from afar\, works from the era of the 1960s space race\, and more contemporary responses informed by the imagery and scientific knowledge acquired through space exploration. \nJust as the Moon itself can be viewed from multiple vantage points from the Earth\, works in the exhibition will be located throughout the galleries. Links with literature\, film\, music and science will also be explored\, highlighting the Moon’s capacity to engender creativity and inquiry. \nAcross five key exhibition themes\, The Moon will invite a new engagement with\, and provide new perspectives on\, this enigmatic celestial body that we all see and are influenced by.

SUMMARY:Win a free moon rock competition!
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of our 50th birthday and the Moon landing on 21 July 1969 (Australian Time) we are running a competition to win a small piece of the Moon! Open to all Primary & Secondary students in Australia. The question asked gives a clue to how we obtained the unique specimen. Good luck. \n  \n*** It’s our 50th birthday this year\, inspired by humans walking on the Moon! ***  So we’d like to kneel down and share the buzz with you. \nPrize\nA small piece of the Moon. It’s not as big as the one photographed by Eugene Cernan on the Moon though. And\, no\, you don’t win any cheese. \nEligibility\nOnly for current school-age students at high school or primary school anywhere in Australia. \nCost\nFree. \nWhat’s the catch?\nNone\, though we do hope that Google Forms can handle the excitement of Science Week! \nWhat to do\nGo to the link for the free National Science Week competition at the MPAS Events page below\, answer some easy questions and put in your best guess at the final BIG Moon question there. Then wait. That’s it. \nThe winner will be contacted by email and one of their teachers must reply to us with an address to which the prize can be safely shipped. \nThe calculated answer will be posted on the MPAS website once determined. \nType your answers carefully because duplicates will be disqualified. Only one entry per student. \nCompetition is open now and closes on 18 August. \nThe first received closest answer to that determined from the “wisdom of the crowd” value across Australia after the end of the competition will be the winner. \nSee the link for further details of this fun and easy experiment\, and good luck! \nIf this has inspired you\, like the late Neil Armstrong asked\, to “look up and give the Moon a wink“\, do some local detective work to see if you have a nearby astronomy society or club who might be able to share the wonders of the Australian night sky with your family.
