AstroExpo
The annual 10DA bring you another tidbit – AstroExpo. What's it all about?
Thursday, 27. March 2014. u 16:49 sati 10 Days of Astronomy 2014
For the first time ever 10DA is going to be organizing an astronomy equipment exhibition. On Saturday, March 29, 2014 in Hrvatski dom, you will be given an opportunity to take a look at the equipment used for making beautiful astronomy photographs you were able to see in our small gallery. Along with telescopes and cameras you will also be able to see robots constructed by students of Daruvar Technical School, as well as some astronomical literature. Apart from the exhibition, you will meet amateur astronomers drawn here from all over our country, who are not only here to sell or trade some of their equipment, but are also eager to share their experiences with you and perhaps get you interested in this natural science.
The AstroExpo set up will take place from 10 to 11 am. After the opening ceremony at 11 am, the exhibition will be open until 6 pm. You are also invited to a lecture about the mythology of the constellations by Sandrino Požežanac at 7 pm. The cherry on top of the cake comes after the lecture: the Earth Hour event will see the town turn off all of its non-essential lighting and our Star Party will begin. The AstroExpo participants will be pointing their telescopes at the night sky from the town square and will give you the opportunity to take a sneak peek at the beauty of stars and planets.
