On the Journey From Earth to the Universe (pages 10-13)
Kimberly Kowal Arcand & Megan Watzke

Summary

The From Earth to the Universe (FETTU) project is a worldwide effort to bring the striking beauty and intriguing science of astronomy to the public. By showcasing some of the best images from the fleet of space-based observatories and wide array of telescopes (and astrophotographers) on the ground, FETTU strives to engage as many people as possible in the wonders of the Universe. As one of the 12 global Cornerstone projects being supported by International Year of Astronomy 2009, FETTU is, in fact, reaching its goals halfway through IYA2009. Over 60 countries in more than 250 separate exhibitions are participating in FETTU. From tiny villages to the largest cities – with budgets large and small – FETTU has been featured on every continent except Antarctica.

Since we have framed this project – largely by way of the title – as a journey, we decided to take a tour of the destinations that we have already visited, take stock of our experiences and look at where FETTU might go in the future.

“Gravitational worlds, they are moving or changing the orbit with their all family members depending on the nuclear of each other”. Circumstantial evidence: cluster of galaxies, galaxies and galaxy, this there are the black hole in the deep of gravitational world, they are moving or changing the orbit with their all family members depending on the nuclear of each other. In this way; FETTU is: As I see it, the structure of sketch of the universe through that exact copy of visible diagram solar system in the gravitational world. That is to say; the universe picture visible figures in our time, such as solar worlds and invisible figure such as various energy levels black holes.

Yet, “An individual respective very location is the present and the rest all the locations are of the deep of the past”. That is to say; Location of oneself is the present and all other remaining places have dived inside the deeper parts of the past of all. In or under the circumstances: see wonderful creation. Such: reflected power of brain is the result of visible Universe, both places are same, beginning of creation is on this place, dark energy or big bang is on our earth, one site universe such as FETTU, life-time universe and lifeless position is dark energy, everything is center of the universe or our place is central or earth is center point in the universe or my brain is centre of the Universe.
