🌌 Event Program
📡 RATAN-600 is one of the largest radio telescopes in the world and a unique scientific instrument that allows us to explore the Universe beyond the visible spectrum.
🔭 Modern radio astronomy helps scientists detect signals that are invisible to the naked eye: radiation from distant galaxies, traces of cosmic catastrophes, stellar activity, and other processes occurring in the depths of space.
🚀 Together with astrophysicist Petr Tsybulyov, we will explore:
• how the RATAN-600 radio telescope works;
• what signals are coming to us from deep space;
• how scientists study the evolution of galaxies and stars;
• what discoveries are being made thanks to modern radio astronomy.
✨ Participants will learn how radio waves help explore objects inaccessible to ordinary telescopes, and why such observations change our understanding of the origin and development of the Universe.
🎼 After the scientific part, guests will enjoy a musical program from the artists of the "Above the Sound" festival – a kind of dialogue between the voices of space and live music.
