ABSTRACT: Pulsars steadily loose their rotational energy via a magnetized relativistic wind. The confinement of this wind by the surrounding supernova ejecta or the interstellar medium generates a luminous nebula of synchrotron emission called a pulsar wind nebula (PWN). I will give a general introduction into structure and evolution of pulsar wind nebulae and discuss examples of PWNe located inside and outside of their host supernova remnant. I will then give an overview of the PWN G63.7+1.1 and describe our planned JCMT

Using the 3D stereoscopic projection system in the `Imiloa planetarium, ‘Imiloa’s planetarium manager Shawn Laatsch will “fly” participants out into space on a unique and engaging tour of our home galaxy, the Milky Way. The program begins by exploring the local neighborhood of our solar system, including planets and their moons, landing on Mars and zipping through the rings of Saturn. The journey continues outward to visit other planetary systems, fly through the Orion Nebula, explore open and globular clusters, and even peek into the center of

Future Flight Hawai'i

Future Flight Hawai'i is a space-themed educational program designed to catalyze a child's interest in science, technology and the future. The participants experience a variety of training modules with a mission context. Over the past 17 years, over 7000 student and parent participants have voyaged on journeys of exploration to the moon, Mars, and our own Earth, the Blue Planet. The Future Flight Hawai'i Mission Control team includes professional educators from the Hawai'i Department of Education and private schools. The training modules and other program elements are designed by the staff educators, with contributions from Hawai'i Space Grant Consortium scientists and NASA resources. Available programs include: Day Exploration (Kaua'i - grades 3, 4, 5, 6), RoboTech Exploration (Maui - grades 3, 4, 5, 6), Family Exploration (O'ahu - grades 2, 3, 4, 5 and one parent)

Kids Invent Hawaii

Welcome. We teach hands-on science to kids. We show kids how to become creative, inventive and entrepreneurial through our Kids Invent program. In our hands-on science classes, kids invent toys. We are a high-enrichment after-school program offered to public and private schools in Hawaii. In our classes, students use concepts of science and technology to invent toys and games. Kids learn all of this while having fun!
