RESUMO

Teaching Astronomy is as fascinating as learning it. This motivation made possible this work about the new ways of teaching the oldest science to the young. The objective of this work is to present the fundamenting bases and the construction method of the Virtual Exposition Astronomy: An Unforgettable Voyage. The Astronomy virtual exposition wss developed since november 2007 in colaboration with the "Project Astronomy for Beginers". It was conceived to popularize and divulgate Astronomy, Space Sciences and related technologies, in order democratize knowledge through ludic didactic activities based in interactive and experimental aproaches. In this sense, the virtual museum brings learning far away beyond the traditional scholar structure. The exposition about Astronomy brings to the visitor general knowledges from components of the Universe, just as the galaxies, the stars and planetary systems, a section for the Solar System and another with a few big names of Astronomy. To improve the learning and also reach people that cant access the internet, there are activities as the Gnomon, the Sun clock, earth motions and visual aspects of the Moon. It also has a memory and cross-word games such that the contents are inside the virtual explosition, which can be printed for using outside de virtual ambient. The exposition is being filled with a special section dedicated to the 400th aniversary of the Galileus observations together with others highlights of the 2009 International Astronomical Year. The Virtual Museum is sponsored by the Ministry of Science and Technology (MCT) and by the Nacional Science and Technology Development Council (CNPq).
