monthly contest
MINNEAPOLIS--(Business Wire)--
Celebrate Moon Day by submitting astrophotos to
MyDiscoveredUniverse.com. The physics forum is celebrating the
anniversary of Neil Armstrong's historic walk on the moon by calling
for submissions of astrophotos. Almost 40 years ago, Armstrong,
Michael Collins, and Edwin Aldrin, Jr. became the first Americans to
set foot on the moon. After stepping from the Eagle module, Armstrong
declared the event to be "one small step for man, one giant leap for
mankind."

   Photographers can submit photos of the moon or other cosmic
subject matter associated with the universe to
MyDiscoveredUniverse.com. Each month the website will pick the best
entry and the winner will receive a $500 cash prize. At the end of the
first 12-month contest, one winning photo will be selected as the
grand prize winner and published as part of an advertisement in the
August 2009 issue of Astronomy magazine. All of the winning
photographs will be included in a 2010 calendar.

   "This contest is an opportunity to show the world your talent and
passion for the universe," said Terence Witt, author of Our
Undiscovered Universe. "Photographers can submit photographs through
the forum and they will receive national attention in a renowned
astronomy publication."

   The official anniversary of the lunar landing was July 20, but
NASA is using the anniversary to raise interest in lunar science. NASA
Ames is hosting a three-day conference July 21-23 in Houston at the
Lunar and Planetary Institute to discuss different issues associated
with the moon.
