🔭 The exploration of the universe begins with curiosity.
🌠 The "Above the Sound" festival (August 12-26, 2026) creates a space where complex scientific topics become understandable and accessible.
🏔️ The mountains of Karachay-Cherkessia lend a special atmosphere to such meetings.
🌌 Event Program:
🔭 How is the universe expanding, and how do scientists record it? Is it possible to "see" processes occurring millions of light-years away?
📡 Together with astrophysicist Petr Tsybulyov, we will explore how modern radio astronomy allows us to study space beyond the visible spectrum.
🌠 The focus is on the RATAN-600 radio telescope, one of the key scientific instruments that captures radio waves from the depths of the universe. With its help, scientists study:
• The formation and evolution of cosmic objects;
• The behavior of matter under extreme conditions;
• Processes that determine the development of the universe over time.
🧠 We will discuss how radio telescopes are constructed, what discoveries they have already brought, and what we can learn about space today thanks to such observations.
🎼 After the scientific part, a musical program by the artists of the "Above the Sound" festival will be performed – a symbolic "response" from Earth to the signals of the universe.
