    "abstract": "In an age of media saturation, how can astronomers succeed in grabbing the\npublic\u0027s attention to increase awareness and understanding of astronomy? Here I\ndiscuss some creative alternatives to press releases, public lectures,\ntelevision programs, books, magazine articles, and other traditional ways of\nbringing astronomy to a wide audience. By thinking outside the box and\nemploying novel tools - from truly terrible sci-fi movies, to modern\nStonehenges, to music from the stars - astronomers are finding effective new\nways of communicating the wonders of the universe to people of all ages.",
