This year I had the great pleasure and honour to be invited to the 5th International Meeting of Astronomy and Astronoautics in Campos dos Goytacazes (Brazil) to represent AWB from the point of view of of an NC in the heart of Europe.

Mês Mundial da Astronomia – “Titã, uma Lua parecida com a Terra” - Lyrids Watch no OAPB
No dia 21 de Abril, o Observatório Astronómico de Gaia (OAPB) voltou a promover mais uma rubrica do Mês Mundial da Astronomia 2012, desta vez foi dedicado à maior Lua de Saturno,Titã, a única com uma espessa atmosfera no nosso sistema solar, cuja composição se assemelha à atmosfera primordial quando a vida despontava na Terra. O dia era propicio também à observação de estrelas cadentes da chuva de meteoros, as Liridas, mas não foi visualizada nenhuma, talvez devido à poluição luminosa e devido à neblina e algumas nuvens que incomodavam a observação. No final foi possível a observação de Saturno... Read More...

Raoul LannoyThis Sun Day april 1st was no April Fool's day for us!

It's mainly a University Town with no car circulation (cars are parked underground, luckily not too far from our observation place, outside. We had about 4 or 5 different telescopes, all aimed at the Sun and all with different kinds of filters. At 11 AM, we started the day with almost immediately people wondering what it was about.
