THE ECLIPSE OF A LIFETIME

An eclipse is much more than an astronomical phenomenon. It is the perfect alignment of the Sun, the Moon and us—the observers striving to understand our place in the universe.

.

In this lecture, we will explore an experience that combines astronomy, history, science and emotion, preparing us for what will quite literally be the eclipse of a lifetime. This engaging journey will help us understand what makes these phenomena so unique, how they occur, and why they have fascinated humanity for centuries.

.

An invitation to look up at the sky… and also to look within ourselves.

Speaker

To uncover the secrets behind this extraordinary event, we will be joined by Nacho Pérez, Head of Scientific Outreach at Galáctica, the Astronomy Outreach and Practical Astronomy Centre in Teruel. Alongside his work in science communication, he pursues an artistic career focused on stellar physics and the visual representation of the cosmos. His work is distinguished by making astronomy accessible, engaging, and highly visual, combining scientific rigour with a sense of wonder and inspiring curiosity about the Universe.
