The planetary trail begins from the “Max Valier” observatory.

The Planetarium Southtyrol is proud to partecipate with a special guest to the European Space Talks, organized by the European Space Agency (ESA) all over Europe during November. The very special guest will be Roberto Biasi, graduate engineer in the Polytechnic University in Milan and co-founder with the brother Vinicio of Microgate, a leading company in timing systems for sport and, very important for our purposes, in developing adaptive optics system for the European Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT) and for the Giant Magellant Telescope (GMT).

During the walk along the planetary trail Biasi will discuss with the astronomer Luca Ciprari and their guests about his job, passions and most emotional moments at the Microgate.
