EXPLORER L'UNIVERS, NOS PROCHAINS PAS
(Mengeksplorasi Alam Semesta, Langkah Kita Selanjutnya)

1 – 30 September 2010
Galeri CCCL Surabaya
Jl. Darmokali 10 Surabaya



Tahun 2009 lalu adalah ‘Tahun Internasional Astronomi’ yang dicanangkan oleh Perserikatan Bangsa-Bangsa (PBB). Selama bulan September 2010 ini, Pusat Kebudayaan Prancis (CCCL) Surabaya menampilkan koleksi pameran astronomi yang merupakan bagian dari peringatan ‘Tahun Internasional Astronomi’ tersebut bagi publik Surabaya dan sekitarnya. Pembuatan pameran ini diprakarsai oleh Kementrian Luar Negeri Prancis dan Eropa,  didukung oleh Kementrian Pendidikan Tinggi dan Riset Prancis, serta dibuat oleh Centre Sciences, CCSTI (Centre de Culture Scientifique Technique et Industrielle) de la région Centre.


Pameran sains berjudul « Explorer l'Univers, nos prochains pas » (Mengeksplorasi Alam Semesta, Langkah Kita Selanjutnya) berlangsung mulai 1 – 30 September 2010 di Galeri CCCL. Pameran berupa 15 poster besar (60 x 105 cm) yang terdiri dari gambar dan teks dalam bahasa Inggris.


Pameran yang dalam versi bahasa Inggris berjudul ”Exploring The Univers, Our Next Steps” ini mengilustrasikan perkembangan terbaru dalam astronomi, dalam bahasa yang dapat dimengerti oleh masyarakat awam mulai tingkat Sekolah Menengah Pertama. Bagian pertama, lebih mengenai sejarah, bagian kedua mengenai sistem tata surya di gugus bintang dan galaksi dan bagian ketiga mengenai perspektif masa yang akan datang.
Evolusi mengenai alam semesta memungkinkan untuk mengganti prinsip-prinsip penemuan dalam konteks historis (akhir abad 19) dan mengembangkan isu aktual kerjasama internasional untuk menjalankan berbagai peralatan (astronomi) pada masa mendatang.

Explore the Universe, our next steps
From Antiquity to our days, astronomical information coming from far distant objects have been observed first by naked eye and then by ever more powerful instruments. These informations have been used to build an increasingly accurate and complex representation of our Universe. The classification of stars paved the way for the study of their evolution ... astronomy is replaced by astrophysics and cosmology.
The current instruments result from international collaborations; from concerted research on key issues emerge prospects of future investigation on the formation and dynamics of the Universe which are exposed in the exhibition for a large public outreach.

Katalog Pameran

THE EARTH, THE CENTER OF THE WORLD ?
From Antiquity to the Middle Ages, observing the sky with naked eye, using the first measurements, allowed the measurement of time in the concept of a world in motion around the Earth: geocentricism.
How to explain that some planets move backwards in their celestial course?


OUR GOOD OLD STAR, THE SUN:
Large mass of gas compressed by gravity, the star shines its own light. The Sun’s magnetic activity and its manifestations, such as solar flares are followed here in the radio waves from Nançay, to understand and predict interactions with the Earth’s environment.


NEBULAE
Nebulae are like stellar nurseries where large masses of gas condense into stars, the most massive stars enrich the environment with the essential blocks of organic chemistry. Men observed this chemistry in millimetric radio-waves and infrared.


GALAXIES AND CLUSTERS
Archipelagoes of matter in the Universe, galaxies contain a hundred billion stars in average. Like the Milky Way, spiral galaxies show a rotating disk of gas and dust where stars form.
Where is the missing mass of our Universe?


STRUCTURE OF THE UNIVERSE
Observed over cosmological distances, the distribution of matter in the Universe allows to understand the forming and evolution of galaxies and clusters. If the expansion of the Universe is an evidence of the hypothetical Big Bang, its acceleration currently suggests a vacuumenergy, dark energy.

PLANETS
because it reflects the light from its star, a planet belongs to a stellar system, where planets and asteroids form. The observation of hundreds of planets around other stars questions our understanding of our own solar system.


EXPERIMENTING !
In the 17th century, Galileo was the first to observe the sky with a telescope; he discovered satellites around Jupiter, proving that not everything revolves around the Earth. Experimentation enables the study of the laws governing the Universe.
Why does not the Moon fall on the Earth?


WAVELENGTH
All bodies emit electromagnetic waves whose energy increases with the body temperature. In the 20th century, radio and space astronomy (beyond the radiation received down Earth) enable the collection of new information on the dynamics of the Universe.
Is most of the Universe visible?


GRAVITATION
The force between two objects is proportional to their masses and conversely to the square of the distance between them. Newton proved that gravity and centrifugal force keep the planets in orbit. In the 19th century, with the giant telescopes succeeding spyglasses, observatories turned into physics research laboratories.
Where does the energy of a star come from?


HELIOCENTRISISM :
In the 16th century, the precision of observations and angle-measuring instruments lead to the revolutionary concept of a universe where the planets, including the Earth, revolve around the Sun.
How far away are the stars?
