“This product and the way it is packaged is a really creative and interesting concept. This is an ingenious way to package and offer a product that might otherwise be too expensive for most budgets and can be used by many different facilities and visitor centers. With interpretive planning and creativity it could be worked into any situation or component of an exhibit. Since it is a product that could be customized depending on the site and job I assume interactivity could be added to the program...”

It is the same with St. Helens as a metaphor for the bursting tops of the gas pillars.”

“WOW!
This captured me. Great use of images, made message relevant,
good visuals, demonstrated the use of science, encouraged users
to look to the night sky, demonstrated how amateurs can work side
by side with scientists, good music, relaxing, intriguing, captivating,
and relevant.
“Tied information to users. Very provocative. Especially
liked the correlation from Pegasus to a baseball diamond and how
an amateur astronomer helped unveil a mystery. Demonstrates how
a user can be involved... Motivates users to observe the night
sky. Excellent tool... Good use of references to common ideas
(again the baseball diamond). Makes science relevant to uninformed
user... Outstanding photos and use of techniques to highlight
and focus on specific areas of interest... Captured and held attention.
I liked how each segment identified how long it would be...”
