The Planetarium Science Center will celebrate the GLOBE at Night program, which is an international citizen-science campaign to raise public awareness of the impact of light pollution by inviting citizen-scientists to measure their night sky brightness and submit their observations to a website from a computer or smart phone. The GLOBE at Night campaign has run for two weeks each winter/spring for the last six years. People in 115 countries have contributed 66,000 measurements, making GLOBE at Night one of the most successful light pollution awareness campaigns.

Thirty years have elapsed since ”la Caixa” Foundation’s Science Museum opened its doors in Barcelona. Following twenty-four years of activity and museological reflection, CosmoCaixa, as the museum is known today, came into being. Since then, it has received six million visitors as well as recognition from the European Museum Forum in the form of the European Museum of the Year Award 2006.

The Planetarium Science Center at the Bibliotheca Alexandrina (BA) is organizing the sixth Science Festivity. The Science Festivity is a huge public event that gives science a presence in the community and suits people of all ages and different backgrounds. Visitors of the Science Village will experience the pleasure of learning by participating in the various entertaining activities offered; whether with family, friends, or on their own. The overarching theme of the Science Festivity 2012 is “Natural Sciences: Earth and Sun”.

This fun and interactive science exhibition reveals the wonderful world of plants and shows how they interact with people, animals, insects and each other. The exhibition explains how we user plants in our daily lives often without realising it, and how they are essential for the world’s survival.
