Planets In Your Hand – An interactive exhibition of our solar system
The Local Organizing Committee is excited to announce the science communication exhibition "Planets In Your Hand". The exhibit was initiated at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens in Greece, under the Europlanet Funding Scheme 2017.
"Planets In Your Hand" exhibition consists of planetary surface models in rectangular frames. The exhibition presents the 8 planets of the Solar System, highlighting their basic characteristics: temperature, lighting, wind and solid landscape on terrestrial planets. The exhibition was designed and constructed with the aim of disseminating knowledge around the field of planetary exploration, giving the opportunity even to visually impaired people to make a journey through the Solar System by touching the surfaces in a unique interactive experience. The exhibition is aimed at people of all ages and backgrounds including families, young people, adults and organized classes from schools and educational institutions.
We warmly invite all conference attendees to visit the Planets In Your Hand exhibition and embark on a virtual journey through our Solar System. The exhibit is located on Level 1 – Intermezzo near the Mars room.
