DIALOGUES Astronomy
On Tuesday, November 27, the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) monthly DIALOGUES series celebrated its one-year anniversary. A discussion on astronomy at the Eugenides Foundation’s New Digital Planetarium took the audience on a magical journey around the universe and across the stars, with the help of scientists and amateur astronomers.
This 12th installment of the DIALOGUES series marked the beginning of a new era in which DIALOGUES will travel near and far, within Greece and abroad, embracing new cities and new venues. During the event, we connected live with the Visitors Center of the National Observatory of Athens in Thissio and the Municipal Library of Prespa, where amateur astronomers and lovers of the stars watched a livestream of the event and actively participated in the discussion.
In their first “journey,” the DIALOGUES reached other neighborhoods around Athens, as well as Thessaloniki, with live broadcasts that took place in schools participating in the “Open Schools” program of the Municipality of Athens and the “Open Schools in the Neighborhood” program of the Municipality of Thessaloniki.
