CSO participated the Journey through the Universe
program in February 2011. This year, a staff research
scientist Hiroko Shinnaga participated the program and took
enthusiastic students and teachers a journey from Earth to the Milky
Way Galaxy and beyond in classrooms at E B De Silva Elementary School
in Hilo, HI. We've reached 55 students throughout the week of Feb
13 -- 18th. Florian Nussberger at Gemini Observatory helped
Hiroko for her classroom visits as an ambassador.
This year's Journey through the Universe is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Walter Steiger.
