MAIN TOPIC:
"Small Bodies of the Solar System"
....... The main research topic at Visnjan Observatory is the study of the small bodies of the Solar System. Besides looking for new objects, we also keep track of known bodies and contribute in determining the orbits of the very
important new discovered objects from the NEO Confirmation page.
The interaction of meteors wit the high atmosphere is a
continuation of a program that last 20 years now.
Technical research areas include telescope construction, automatization technology, data analysis, storage software and future "planetary rovers" design and constructions.
The NEO - Near Eartg Object one of the object that represent the main workshop topics. |

How can I participate?
The majority of participants come from the "Astronomy Science Fair's", but the workshop is open also for other students between the ages of 14-18. To be selected,
please fill out the
application form and include one "support" letter from one of your teachers.
Is it expensive?
No! We suppose that the sponsors will cover the majority
