SUMMARY:Future Opportunities Right to Moon Exploration 2024: Illuminating the Shadows as The Third Goal
DESCRIPTION:FOR ME consists of an event where we will cover the potential opportunities of lunar exploration with the keywords of “curiosity\, endevour\, and awareness” in line with the “Illuminating the Shadows” theme determined for the International Moon Day 2024. \n\n\n\nCuriosity: Emphasis is placed on the importance of human curiosity in the space age\, from the dark side of the Moon to the outermost galaxies of the universe. Events will be held to increase participation and interest in this matter such as observation and astrophotography. \n\n\n\nEndevour: In addition to the more traditional elements that satisfy us such as space and the Moon\, we step into the nature with camping to prove how space matters. From the kids to elders\, from lawyers to photographers\, come across around a campfire and talk about the Moonlight (Sonata – optional :)). And the third time in-a-row\, we make it all free for everyone with our endevour. \n\n\n\nAwareness: That’s all we work for. No need to have a caption… \n\n\n\nIn the first part\, we will organize an observation and photography event. On July 20\, participants all around the Türkiye (and beyond)\, are going to observe the Moon and take its photos. We share them\, we exhibit them\, we “metaverse them”. You know what we mean 🙂 \n\n\n\nOne of the projects we consistently carry out as Altair is ASOR: Altair Space Observation and Research Projects. And activities such as observation and astrophotography have already be carried out within the scope of this project. Again\, as Altair\, we attach great importance to raising awareness about International Moon Day and space activities. For this reason\, it will make us very happy to dedicate one of our events (Again\, third time!) to the International Moon Day as part of ASOR. \n\n\n\nOur camp day will start on the morning of August 3 and end on the 4th. There will be social activities\, nature walks\, games and competitions throughout the camp\, as well as a conversation with our special guests by the fire on the evening of August 3. Space observations will be made from the night to sunrise and space photographs will be taken that include the Moon in its composition if it will be possible. \n\n\n\nOur camp event\, which we tested ourselves by holding a quota of 15 people at its first year\, is planned to be held with a participation quota of 100 people this year like the second one. Professional shootings including the use of drone\, gymbal and similar equipment will be made from the beginning to the end of the camp\, and a behind-the-scenes documentary of the camp event will also be shot and broadcast. \n\n\n\nAnd the photos to be taken at the event can be exhibited both in the physical and metaverse environment and sold as NFT to make a charity. The photographs can be exhibited at the entrance of the FOR ME event hall when the FOR ME project presented to MVA by the Altair Association is realized. \n\n\n\nThis event will contribute to space observation activities\, which are not organized much in our country\, and will facilitate learning about the International Moon Day\, which has never been heard (before us :)) of in our country\, by exhibiting the Moon photographs to be taken in various environments. And if we succeed in attracting participants
