Cum s-a văzut eclipsa partială de Soare de la Institutul de Științe Spațiale
Astăzi, 20 martie 2015, a avut loc o eclipsă totală de Soare, vizibilă din România doar ca eclipsă parţială, Soarele fiind acoperit în proporţie de numai 43%.
Cu această ocazie, angajaţii Institutului de Ştiinţe Spaţiale au scos în curte instrumentele necesare pentru a observa acest fenomen. Au participat la eveniment Sound of Science, copiii de la Grădinița din Măgurele şi colegii de la alte Institute de pe Platforma din Măgurele.
Applications open for the International Workshop and School on solar system plasma turbulence, intermittency and multifractals, 6-13 September, Mamaia
Applications are open for the “International Workshop and School on solar system plasma turbulence, intermittency and multifractals (STORM 2015)”, which will be organised by the Institute of Space Science (ISS) from 6 to 13 September 2015 in Mamaia, Romania. The abstracts can be submitted until 15 June 2015 by completing the online form available here.
The “Solar system plasma turbulence, intermittency and multifractals” workshop and school is organised as a series of daily tutorial lectures followed by invited and contributed talks.
