June 8, 2025 2:00 a.m. – Castellaro Lagusello

Speaker: Sandro Bardelli (astronomer)

The life of an astronomer is not always as we think, namely dotted by quiet nights of telescope observations, followed by the processing of the data collected. In the past it was an adventurous, strange and even unfortunate life. Round the fire, we will describe deeds of well-known – and less well-known – astronomers, who “clashed” with their own life.
