LEIA SOBRE MEUS COMENTÁRIOS DAS 100 HORAS DA ASTRONOMIA – NESSA COR DE LETRA – MAIS ABAIXO
From April 02 up to April 05, 2009 astronomers and enthusiasts of astronomy from all places on this dust-grainy planet -Earth- will keep vigil for one hundred hours – observing the sky, presenting seminars, research results and other astronomical activities- as one of the many events programmed to celebrate the International Year of Astronomy (click here to see more). Throughout the year 2009 we commemorate four hundred years since Galileo pointed his telescope to the sky and observed for the first time mountains on the Moon’s surface and other astronomical events. In the State of Minas Gerais – Brazil, the OAFR group (Federal University of Minas Gerais – UFMG) is programming to join thousands of people at the Serra da Piedade’s Frei Rosario Observatory (OAFR), from Thursday, 02 up to Sunday, 5th in a series of events. A fortunate coincidence takes place on the 4th April, as it happens on the traditional First Saturday of the month, when hundreds, and sometimes thousands of students and astronomy enthusiasts ascend to the OAFR. On that Saturday evening beyond the observations on the second largest Brazilian telescope, the general public can attend to some talks programmed for the ocasion such as “Einstein’s Legacy” by the President of the Brazilian Physical Society, Professor Alaor Chaves, “Listening to the Atoms” by Professor Aba Cohen (about “extraterrestrial atoms” + the Bocaiuva Meteorite) and some experimental demonstrations on “Light and Information” by Professors Fernando A. Batista and Carlos Heitor D. Fonseca. Professors Renato Las Casas, Director of the OAFR and Tulio J. Santos will give special talks on the specific theme under celebration.
