Solar Astronomy Outreach Deck

This deck is primarily designed with solar astronomy in mind. In the past, while participating in sidewalk astronomy events, I noticed that some of the participants enjoyed receiving an "information card" (or "collector card") showing the features that they had observed through the telescopes. Thus, I designed this deck for astronomers to "give away" to interested members of the public during solar viewing events, in the hopes that it will help encourage a continuing, active interest in amateur astronomy, or science more generally.

The cards in this deck are part of a larger "Space Collector Card" Set that is currently under construction. There are many other decks planned including one for night sidewalk astronomy, one for teachers, and a number of decks which will be more traditional "collector/trading" decks.

The QR code on these cards leads to a webpage giving some additional facts and statistics about the Sun. In future versions of the deck, each individual type of card may get an information page of its own.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
