We are all astronomers
Do you know what an astronomer does? Today’s astronomer is not the lone observer of past centuries. We Are Astronomers reveals the global collaboration, technology and dedication required to answer the unresolved questions of the Universe.
We Are Astronomers is an exciting new 360° Fulldome digital planetarium show launching 23 May 2009 across the UK. The show is being produced by NSC Creative with input from UK astronomers.
The project is a collaboration between Armagh Planetarium, Centre For Life, INTECH Science Centre & Planetarium, National Space Centre, Our Dynamic Earth, Royal Observatory Greenwich, Spaceport with funding from the Science and Technology Facilities Council.

A Union for a’ that
‘A Union for a’ that’ is a collaborative education project for Scottish schools marking the 300th anniversary of the Union of the Parliaments in 1707. The project is funded by the Scottish Government Education Department, Tourism, Culture and Sport.
Moriarti were asked to design and produce an e-learning resource and support materials designed to support ‘A Curriculum for Excellence’, Scotland’s new curriculum that provides relevant, inspiring, and engaging education for every child and young person in Scotland.
Working closely with the National Archives of Scotland and The Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland, Moriarti designed and produced an interactive e-learning DVD-Rom that contains a wealth of information to help children of all ages understand the Union of Parliaments. The resources include a digital booklet, downloadable teaching aides, audio and video as well as fun interactive games.
In support to this, Moriarti produced a brand identity as well as a number of support materials including a website, exhibition panels and print materials to support the workshops and other events that were being run by the partnership of Government agencies.
