GAM Newsletter 28 April 2010

Cosmic Concert - get ready for an unforgettable musical experience gsp_logo_200x200

On Wednesday, April 28, 19.00 U.T., you can enjoy an online “Cosmic Concert”— a live piano solo performance organized in celebration of Global Astronomy Month (GAM2010). This unforgettable musical experience is composed by Giovanni Renzo and takes inspiration from astronomical events such as pulsars, black holes and transformation of star maps into musical score. Accompanying the music are videos by Valentina Romeo and Gianluca Masi.



Cosmic Depths - To say good bye to Global Astronomy Month, at the Virtual Telescope will run a very special event, traveling across space and time, leaving the Earth for the Moon, galaxies and the most distant objects in the Universe.
