"IYA2009: closing event at the Virtual Telescope"

LIVE HERE!!!!


On Jan 7, 1610 Galileo Galilei pointed one of his telescopes to Jupiter, unveiling a new system of worlds, with the discovery of its bigger moons: Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto.

For the IYA 2009 closing ceremony at the Virtual Telescope, we decided to host a special free event on the next 7 Jan 2010, just 400 years after that revolutionary night.

We will offer a guided, live tour through the heavens, with our robotic telescopes and comments, focusing on some objects observed by Galileo.

To join, you just need to enter, on Jan 7 2010 at 19.30 UT, our website at http://www.virtualtelescope.eu

We are looking forward to celebrate that great anniversary with you, at the very end of the International Year of Astronomy!

The official language for the event will be English.

 

 

So, stay tuned and join us for such a worldwide show!
