Next AOL project - Sept 16

The European Association for Astronomy Education will perform a number
of student projects during the coming Lunar eclipse, Sept 16.

The intentions are to rework the old Lunar Eclipse measurements
performed by e.g. Ptolemeus, Columbus and Amerigo.

By means of simple math, such a lunar eclipse may actually tell your
students their longitude.

If you want to contribute to and support these hands on- World Wide
student-experiments, please take a look :

These projects do not require any high tech stuff. However, photos
(tracked or non tracked) are most welcome.

Enjoy the eclipse, and remember their historical importance :
