ESPRESSO_Apresentação do livro

An adventure of Portuguese astronomy and engineering in the World’s driest desert, the Atacama, in Chile.

Registration required. The event is held in Portuguese. Questions may be asked in English.

In the last 30 years we have discovered that nearly all the stars we see in the sky at night have planets around them. Most of these planets should be rocky, like Earth. How do we know that? And how does this change the way we look at the sky?
