Thank you for supporting the presentation of FETTSS in Queretaro, Mexico. The Autonomous University of Queretaro is very grateful and also the entire community of Queretaro, the exhibition was a success. The exhibition attracted much attention and though it were 40 photographs, the Queretaro state government wants to display them to the public and in a larger format. So now we are making appropriate arrangements for this new exhibition which will have the complete collection of 90 images provided by you. Thanks very much for your support to me and the university.

Musical event with Aalborg Symphony Orchestra, Aalborg Denmark
Date: 3 - 3 May, 2012
94 men and women in our wonderful orchestra had a little help from their friends in Aarhus. An opera choir from that town participated in the last movement of Gustav Holst’s “The Planets“.
Their singing suggested the farawayness of space after Neptune. Perhaps you know, that Gustav Holst didn’t involve Pluto in his musical work. Pluto was discovered in 1930.
Before ”The Planets” the orchestra led by British Rumon Gambas, performed ”La Mer” by Debussy.
Before the concert, during the pause, and after the concert the audience could look at my Power Point Show in a seven minutes repeated loop on five big TV screens in the foyer. The photos were partly from FETTSS and partly private photos.
They also had the chance of looking at my wall sheets with starwheels, brochures from our association, and some sheets of information about the planets in our solar system.
The idea was to show the concert goers the constellations of stars and the positions of the planets (and the moon) in the sky on this very evening. The third of May 2012!
My hope was that the concert goers would leave the concert with the music of Gustav Holst in their hearts and minds and – at the same time – having a chance of watching and recognizing Saturn, Mars, and Venus (and the nearly full moon) in the evenin sky. From Earth to the Solar System so to speak!
The following photos show the rehearsal – the concert – the concert hall – the wall sheets, star wheels – information sheets – the chairman of Tromsø Astronomical Association (looking at you with a star wheel in his hand).
Some of us from NAFA and the Urania Observatory are going to Tromsø in Norway in June to watch the passage of Venus on the midnight sun!

J.F. Ching Planetarium, 411 Central Avenue Salinas, CA 93901
Date: 23 April - 22 June, 2012
We have exhibited FETTSS at various locations around the greater Santa Cruz area. It has been twice set up in the planetarium. In between it was at the Northridge Mall for a single event (Dia del Nino).
After our big on campus science event on the 19th it traveled to Santa Cruz. I showed one of the panels to the staff at the public library and they are excited to have it. Their plan is to divide the panels up amongst the different branches of the system and encourage patrons to travel to the branches to see more of the panels. With 10 branches, most will display only one panel while a few of the larger ones will have two or perhaps three.
