The University of Washington’s Astrobiology Program is committed to introducing the field of astrobiology to the next generation of Washingtonians. Astrobiology with the Mobile Planetarium (ABMP) is a program that brings a mobile planetarium to K-12 audiences throughout the state, teaching them about life on Earth and the search for life in the universe. UW astrobiologists present a customized planetarium show that uses the\u00a0World Wide Telescope<\/a>\u00a0format so that participants “fly” through the Solar System, the Milky Way Galaxy, and the edge of the Universe. During a typical day, we reach 7-8 groups of 25-30 students each, presenting the show, describing our experiences as professional scientists, and promoting the pursuit of a college education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can learn more about the Mobile Planetarium on the UW Astronomy Department’s<\/a> website and learn a little more about the AB Mobile Planetarium in this UW News article<\/a> highlighting the program!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ABMP is managed by\u00a0Rory Barnes<\/a>. You can download the show\u00a0here<\/a>. Please\u00a0contact him if you would like more information on this program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
