Space Club main activities

 The club has the main focus on the following activities:

 

The picture is a banner for the inclusive astronomy outreach program for people with blindness and visual impairments. The general feeling is of mystery and awe brought by a smoky pink mauve and black butterfly shape on the left side of the image. This is there is the Orion nebula: two pink milky areas, one small almost round, translucent pink and black, with a star in the middle looking like a white shining point. The other part of the nebula is a giant half-sphere made out of translucent pink smoke, denser and whiter in the middle. Afterwards it begins to rarefy and disperse into the black space. On the right side of the image, the black space continues, with few white shining dots as stars, and on top of it we added the message „Space for all - social inclusion through astronomy”. The writing is encapsulated in a drawing of a circle of constellations and stars. On the right bottom corner, we had added our logo, which is a colorful gradient circle going from magenta to turquoise, with a cute drawing of a telescope inside. Below it writes SPACE CLUB - the astronomy club of the Space and Radiocommunications Agency
Social inclusion through astronomy - the inclusive astronomy outreach program for the blind and visually impaired
