Special Guests: Rosa Doran, Executive Director of NUCLIO, Thilina Heenatigala also of NUCLIO, and José Gonçalves, a teacher in Porto, Portugal.

The Galileo Teacher Training Program's goal is to create a worldwide network of Galileo Ambassadors and Galileo Teachers. These Ambassadors train Teachers in the effective use and transfer of astronomy education tools and resources into classroom science curricula. The Galileo Teachers are equipped to train other teachers in these methodologies, leveraging the work begun during IYA2009 in classrooms everywhere.

Or: Rapidly Starting Space Industry and Solar System Civilization.

Special Guest: Dr. Philip Metzger ( @DrPhiltill ).

Dr. Philip Metzger is a planetary physicist who recently retired from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, where he co-founded the KSC Swamp Works. He now is now at the University of Central Florida -- but still a part of the Swamp Works team -- performing research related to solar system exploration: predicting how rocket exhaust interacts with extraterrestrial soil, investigating the mechanics of soil, characterizing lunar and martian soil simulants, modeling the migration of volatiles on airless bodies, etc.

http://www.astronomycast.com/cosmology/measuring-distance-in-the-universe/

From November 13, 2006.

You hear distances all the time in astronomy. This star is 10 light-years away; that galaxy is 50 million light-years away; that Big Bang over there happened 13.7 billion years ago. But how did astronomers actually figure out how far away everything is? It’s not a single measuring stick. Instead, astronomers have built up a series of overlapping measuring tools (yes, we’re calling supernovae and variable stars “tools”), which take us from right around the corner to very ends of the Universe. Get out your ruler… no, the bigger one… never mind… just listen.

A desert is a remote place away from the light pollution of cities that also has very few clouds in the sky. So it's the perfect location for astronomers to observe the Universe.

In the Atacama desert, in Chile, there is already a big family of telescopes. And in 2011 this family got a new member: a 2.6 meter wide telescope called the VST.
