February 22 and March 1 Live Webcast:
Live From Poker Flat, Alaska

Live and Interactive events: really, truly, "live from the aurora"--with luck!
In order to create the real-time interactions that will be seen during the March 18 broadcast, P2K is arranging two, 2-hour live telecasts direct from Poker Flat, Alaska. While the primary purpose of these telecasts is to create on-camera interaction between students staying up late to watch the aurora (we hope!) in real time and the researchers and support team at Poker Flat, REGISTERED SCHOOLS, SCIENCE CENTERS and PLANETARIUMS will be able to view the programming via NASA-TV. This will be raw, real-time video and we are not encouraging PBS stations to air this live since it will be formatted primarily to facilitate interaction between Poker and the live sites (The Imaginarium, Anchorage, AK, and Fernbank Science Center, Atlanta, GA on Feb 22; Baltimore Science Center, MD and the Chabot Space and Science Center, Oakland on March 1.) No sites have permission to videotape and re-use these live interactions. However, upon registration, a non-commercial public institution may host live viewing of the feeds via NASA-TV.

To register, go to the opening page of P2K's LIVE FROM THE AURORA website, and complete and submit the online form you'll find there. (Coming soon--late in the day of Monday January 13!)

Feed times are: Saturday morning (01:00-03:00 Alaska time) February 22 & March 1, 2003 05:00-07:00 Eastern 04:00-06:00 Central 03:00-05:00 Mountain 02:00-04:00 Pacific 01:00-03:00 Alaska (& Hawaii)

This is not standard P2K or LIVE FROM programming: if you have questions about accessing the live, middle of the night (prime aurora viewing time!) feeds, please contact PASSPORT TO KNOWLEDGE at ptkinfo@passporttoknowledge.com or by phone at 973.656.9403
