The overall aim of the project is to develop a theme around "astronomy, solar and planetary science" by displaying the immersive SUN installation in St Magnus Cathedral as centrepiece throughout the seven days of the Orkney International Science Festival (OISF) from Thursday 7 to Wednesday 13 September 2023. This aim of bringing the SUN to Orkney is particularly important, as the geographical remoteness of the islands means that the nearest science centre, in Aberdeen, is a 6-hour ferry journey away, with two overnight stays as well. So a package of activities is being put together around the visit of the SUN, to provide a combined richness of experience that normally would be impossible in an island situation. The activities will include two concerts in the Cathedral, talks on topics from fusion research to Maxwell's discovery of the nature of light, art activities, and an exhibition on the life and work of a 19th-century Orcadian physicist whose geomagnetic studies confirmed the link between solar storms and terrestrial magnetic effects.Skilled explainers will be on hand to provide guided tours of the SUN. Some will be young postgraduate researchers from UCLAN, and two will be experienced Festival astronomy presenters.Direct benefits to schools are a key factor. Orkney's school population is approximately 3,000 (18 primaries, two senior secondaries and three junior highs). Geographical remoteness limits access to the rich range of resources available to city schools. The Scottish Government's Urban Rural Classification (2020) lists Orkney's population as 33.5% in Remote Small Towns (with 3 schools) and 66.5% Remote Rural (20 schools). Overall, the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation 2020 has 12 Orkney schools in areas of high deprivation (mainly SIMD 2 and 3). Hence, the requested funds will be key to engage schools and community groups, adults and families from across Orkney, including its outer islands which through their remoteness rank high on the Scottish Index for Multiple Deprivation and Urban-Rural Classification.The overall impact we aim for is:- inspiring the community with a first-hand encounter with something unique, the outcome of a creative collaboration between an artist and a solar physicist, and the feeling of coming close to the sheer scale of the seething mass of energy of the Sun- providing a back-up context of information from display material and first-hand information from skilled explainers, opening up connections to the process of scientific understanding and some of the people involved in it- stimulating school pupils and provide teachers with added opportunities and resources to enrich the curriculum- opening up new creative opportunities for people in Orkney's lively artistic community- giving the community an overall feeling that great things are possible after several years in which the necessities of public health have led to a climate of caution and holding back and staying in

该项目的总体目的是通过在2023年9月7日星期四至9月13日星期三的奥克尼国际科学节（OISF）的7天中展示在圣马格尼大教堂的沉浸式太阳安装作为核心，以围绕“天文学，太阳能和行星科学”发展为主题。从2023年9月13日（星期四）渡轮旅行，还有两个过夜的住宿。因此，在太阳的访问周围进行了一系列活动，以提供综合的经验，通常在岛屿情况下是不可能的。这些活动将包括在大教堂举行的两场音乐会，关于融合研究的主题到麦克斯韦发现光，艺术活动的本质的话题，以及关于19世纪奥尔卡德物理学家的生活和工作的展览，其地磁研究证实了太阳风暴和地面磁性效应之间的联系。有些人将是来自UCLAN的年轻研究生研究人员，两个将是经​​验丰富的节日天文学演示者。学校的领导收益是关键因素。奥克尼的学校人口约为3,000个（18个初选，两个高级中学和三个初级高点）。地理远程限制了对城市学校可用的丰富资源的访问。苏格兰政府的城市农村分类（2020）将奥克尼人口列为偏远小城镇（有3所学校）和66.5％的偏远农村（20所学校）的人口33.5％。总体而言，2020年多重剥夺的苏格兰指数在高剥夺的地区（主要是SIMD 2和3）拥有12所奥克尼学校。因此，所请求的资金将是吸引来自奥克尼各地的学校和社区团体，成年人和家庭的关键，包括其外部岛屿，它们的偏远地区高度排名苏格兰的索引，以进行多重剥夺和城乡乡村分类。太阳的大量能量 - 从熟练的解释者中提供来自展示材料和第一手信息的信息背景，与科学理解的过程以及一些参与IT的人的联系开放了联系 - 刺激学校学生的联系 - 为教师提供了更多的机会和资源，以丰富课程来丰富课程 - 为社区提供了一定的社区，这使得社区的成就不足以使某些事情成为一件能力的事物，这使得在整个社区中，这是一件能力的事物，而这是一件能力的事物，而这是一件能力的事物，而这使得多种多样的事情能够实现许多事物，而这是一件能力，而这是一件能力，那么多大的事情就可以使您能够实现多大程度上的发展。谨慎的气候，阻止并留在
