Magister Raffaello 2020
WED 25.11.2020 / 2:30 p.m.
Exactly 500 years ago, Raphael died, one of the most important artists of the Italian High Renaissance. To mark the occasion, Magister Art, a company specializing in the digitization of cultural heritage content, has created a new project entitled Magister Raffaello, specially adapted for the Electronica Center’s Deep Space 8K. Visitors are immersed in the era of Raphael and learn a great deal about the life and work of the famous painter and architect. Among the paintings on display are the Madonna with the Goldfinch, the School of Athens, the Fire in Boro, the Transfiguration or the Deposition.
Deep Space LIVE: Exoplanets – in search of the second Earth
THU 26.11.2020 / 5 p.m.
In 1995 the first planet outside our solar system was discovered around the star 51Pegasi. Due to sophisticated detection methods on large telescopes of the 10m class and satellite missions like Kepler thousands of other planets could be detected in the meantime. The search is currently focusing on planets in so-called life-friendly zones, i.e. in those areas where water could exist in a liquid state. What could be more obvious here than the question: Is there any life out there? Peter Habison, head of the Science Outreach Network of the European Southern Observatory in Austria, will provide an insight into the current state of exoplanet research and the search for Earth-like planets.
