The Prestige

AbstractTadeusz Banachiewicz (1882-1954) was an outstanding Polish astronomer, mathematician and geodesist. He was a professor at the Jagiellonian University in Cracow and director of the Astronomical Observatory (1919-1954), and had a strong influence on Polish astronomy. His achievements led to honorary degrees at universities, fellowships in academies of sciences, and the prestige of high positions in international organizations, such as the International Astronomical Union and the Baltic Geodetic Commission. He is known from both his theoretical and observational studies, his famous motto being: “observo ergo sum”. Here we recall three years of his activity in Tartu, where Tadeusz Banachiewicz made the most important steps in his career. He arrived at Yuryev in October of 1915, employed as a young assistant. In March 1918 he became the extraordinary professor and director of the Astronomical Observatory.

A conference having the title The Three Galileos: the Man, the Spacecraft, the Telescope, was held at the University of Padova from 7-10 January 1997. The conference was jointly organized by the U.S. space agency NASA, JPL, the German space agency DARA, the University and Astronomical Observatory of Padova, and the Telescopio Nazionale Galileo, with the added support of the International Astronomical Union. The scientific committee was composed of: C. Barbieri (Chairman, University of Padova), S. Atreya (University of Michigan), E. Bellone (University of Padova), M. Belton (NOAO), P. Benvenuti (ESA), F. Bertola (University of Padova), M. Calvani (Astronomical Observatory of Padova), G. Cariolaro (University of Padova), W. Ip (Max-Planck-Institute for Aeronomy), T. Johnson (JPL), T. Owen (University of Hawaii), J. Rahe (NASA), and R. West (ESO). The purpose was to discuss the discovery of the Medicean Moons by Galileo Galilei in Padova from 7-15 January 1610, the results of the Galileo spacecraft during the cruise phase and while orbiting the Jovian system, and the construction of the 3.5-m active-optics Italian telescope Galileo (TNG) in the Canary Islands.

The Rich

<p>Created in 1852 as the “Liceu de Ponta Delgada”, the “Antero de Quental Secondary School” is today a institution of reference in the teaching and dissemination of culture. In the past, in it, they taught or/and studied great personalities of São Miguel Island, like Dr. João de Moraes Pereira (astronomer,…), Dr. Carlos Machado (botanist,…), ……. Like these personalities, many other teachers (and students) at present confirm the plural vocation of this school, giving their students the possibility to engage in varied activities, from arts to sciences. Taking advantage of its collections of minerals and animals, the school motivates its students to study geology and biology; to contextualizes the study of physics from the collection of the Museum of Physics; to promotes arts creativity of students by inviting them to reinterpret pieces from the school's art collection. Even the rich natural and built heritage of the school gardens are harnessed to develop activities with educational purposes. Throughout the school year, most teachers and students engage in various activities, often with the collaboration/contribution of local science institutions (like Expolab, Astronomical Observatory of Santana Azores - OASA, ….) and others national and international organizations (NUCLIO, International Astronomical Search Collaboration – IASC, Ciência Viva; ….), that promote students' interdisciplinarity and citizenship, while addressing the concepts that constitute the curriculum of the various teaching modalities in the school.</p>

ABSTRACT Comet 2I/Borisov is the first true interstellar comet discovered. Here, we present results from observational programs at two Indian observatories, 2 m Himalayan Chandra Telescope at the Indian Astronomical Observatory, Hanle (HCT) and 1.2 m telescope at the Mount Abu Infrared Observatory (MIRO). Two epochs of imaging and spectroscopy were carried out at the HCT and three epochs of imaging at MIRO. We found CN to be the dominant molecular emission on both epochs, 2019 November 30 and December 22, at distances of rH = 2.013 and 2.031 au, respectively. The comet was inferred to be relatively depleted in Carbon bearing molecules on the basis of low C2 and C3 abundances. We find the production rate ratio, Q(C2)/Q(CN) = 0.54 ± 0.18, pre-perihelion and Q(C2)/Q(CN) = 0.34 ± 0.12 post-perihelion. This classifies the comet as being moderately depleted in carbon chain molecules. Using the results from spectroscopic observations, we believe the comet to have a chemically heterogeneous surface having variation in abundance of carbon chain molecules. From imaging observations, we infer a dust-to-gas ratio similar to carbon chain depleted comets of the Solar system. We also compute the nucleus size to be in the range 0.18 km ≤ r ≤ 3.1 km. Our observations show that 2I/Borisov’s behaviour is analogous to that of the Solar system comets.
