Celebrate the Cosmos!

Well, the team has said its goodbyes and we have all now arrived safely back at our various homes around the planet.

The 2001 Under African Skies Eclipse Conference and Expedition were a resounding success.

Over 500 students, teachers, and African citizens attended our conference in Lusaka. Along with talks by many notable scientists, our opening ceremony included addresses by the Zambian Minister of Science and Technology, the University of Zambia Vice-Chancellor, and Dr. Mazlan Othman, Director of the United Nations' Office for Outer Space Affairs (OOSA).

During our voyage by land from Johanessburg to Nairobi, Kenya, we visited over 30 schools and museums and spoke to more than 4000 students and teachers about science, technology, sustainable development, and the peaceful uses of outer space.

Pictures from the 2001 Under African Skies Project are organized day-by-day and can be found in our Gallery. Soon we will add our stories and journal entries from each day.
