The training course continues for the thirty students selected by the Astronomy Summer School.At School of Stars”.

A lesson on constellations, asterisms, and viewing the sky through the use of forms. And if Lampedusa will be able to witness the next total solar eclipse in 2027, then it's worth booking your place now. School director Agatino Rifatto encourages students to use Stellarium, a free app that allows them to observe the sky.

Thanks to the lessons held by Piero Benvenuti, Secretary General of the International Astronomical Union, issues related to the telescope's components and the choice of locations for large telescopes were addressed: Chile, the Canary Islands, and Hawaii. And while light pollution levels from city lights vary the size of a star in the sky, the diameter of a telescope, when large, allows for a more precise representation of the nucleus of the observed galaxy.

With Openet, the Astronomy Summer School in Matera finds the ideal partner to pursue a dual challenge with studies and scientific insights dedicated to young people. With the presence in the classroom ofCouncilor for Education and Social Policies of the Municipality of Matera, Marilena Antonicelli, the institutions' approval for the passion that the children show towards astronomy is welcomed with applause.
