Subject: The Virtual Telescope opens to Schools


Dear All,

I'm pleased to communicate that the Virtual Telescope, a technologically
advanced observing facility, opened to students and teachers. They can
now use a telescope to explore the wonders of science, eventually doing
their very own discoveries, fully guided by a professional astronomer
deeply involved in education and public outreach.

To learn more, visit:

http://virtualtelescope.bellatrixobservatory.org/

There is a special "School Section" there, where an introductory
Competition is available for teachers and students of any age.

Of course, the facility is also opened to astronomers and amateurs, who
are invited to check the link above.

Thank you very much for your attention,

Gianluca
