Description

The NOT was approached by Graphic Storytelling students from VIA University College in Viborg, Denmark, to work on an Applied Comics collaboration. Applied Comics are a powerful tool to communicate factual information to all target audiences. In their collaboration with the NOT, the students developed comics about various NOT-related subjects, with the intent of informing people of some of the work that is done at the NOT. There were four total comics made, with the following topics: a day in the life of an astronomer; observing exoplanets; supernovas; and a comic about the NOT itself. The final product will be shared in all of the NOT's social media as an outreach mechanism to advertise the telescope and hopefully raise people's interest on the NOT.
