The Planetarium Science Center is celebrating the Eratosthenes Festivity, which has become an annual tradition that takes place every year on 21 June at the Bibliotheca Alexandrina and the city of Aswan. It is designed for preparatory school students, and includes a series of activities that revolve around the methodology Eratosthenes used in measuring the Earth’s circumference 2000 years ago. On 21 June, the day of summer solstice, the 21st century school students conduct Eratosthenes’ experiment at the BA Plaza and in Aswan (Upper Egypt) to measure the circumference of the earth.
This exhibition allows visitors the opportunity to step into the shoes of a palaeontologist and get up-close-and-personal with seven incredible animatronic dinosaurs including Stegosaurus, Triceratops, Muttaburrasaurus and the King of the Cretaceous Period, the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Visitors can uncover the secrets behind fossils and learn how these prehistoric creatures lived.
Sciencetival is an international four days’ Science Festival on the bridges, squares and streets of Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia. It also partly takes place inside the Slovenian Science Centre – Hisa eksperimentov (The House of Experiments) which is also the organiser of the Sciencetival. The target group are all the curious ones – those who are not afraid to admit that they don’t know everything and are willing to learn new facts.
The Planetarium Science Center is organizing its Summer Programfor the fifth successive year, and with double its capacity, hoping to accomodate the public increasing demand, as the Program has grown to be very popular among students of all ages. The Program comprises a group of scientific workshops, in addition to one Planetarium show, one documentary movie, visits to the famous ALEXploratorium and the Listen and Discover Auditorium, and lectures.
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.
You come across Polish people everywhere in the Netherlands: not just in horticulture, glasshouse construction and the building industry, but also in universities, commerce and the art world. This exhibition is all about these people and their history. Poles have been coming to the Netherlands ever since the early twentieth century. First to work in the mines in Limburg. After World War II, many of the Poles who helped to liberate the Netherlands stayed on. During the Communist period, many Poles sought refuge here and these days the glasshouses in the Westland provide work for thousands.
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.
