Launch of Het Logboek by Anke den Duyn
| Submitter: | Truus van den Brink |
| Description: | September 13 marked the end of a 2-year project, and the beginning of a new one. In close cooperation with CAMRAS, Anke den Duyn launched the youth novel "Het Logboek" by handing the first copies to Anne Margreet Muller, daughter of Lex Muller, one of the first directors of the Dwingeloo Telescope. And to Marc Oort, grandson of Jan Oort, founder of Dutch radio astronomy. Today, the author will sign copies of the book for ASTRON and JIVE employees. ASTRON has asked Anke to write Het Logboek. It is a breathtaking adventure against the background of the Dwingelderveld, with an important role for the 25m Dwingeloo Radio Telescope. The story is based on the input gathered from a large number of (former) ASTRON employees and others, and the creative talents of Anke. The launch of the book marks the kick-off of a new adventure: "Kijk eens wat verder dan de sterren" (Just look beyond the stars). This is a project in which primary schools are challenged to embark their pupils on a journey to radio astronomy, and by doing so to arouse their interest in science and technology. We are eagerly awaiting what the future will bring.. |
