ASTRONOMY NIGHT: “The new challenges of cosmology”
After the success of the White night of astronomy in 2019, the Institut d'astrophysique de Paris (IAP) organizes a new astronomy night on the theme “The new challenges of cosmology”, on Friday, June 26, 2020, from 7 pm to midnight. This evening is part of a larger event, “The web in the stars” (in French), organized jointly by the IAP and the Université de Paris-Saclay.
The overnight program features live and online lectures by young researchers from the lab. PhD students from the IAP take part in the event, and try to summarize their thesis work in three minutes (in keeping with “My thesis in 180 seconds”, in French).
The evening is hosted by Alice Thomas, videographer and science journalist, accompanied by Alexandre Barthélemy, PhD student in the lab. The Café des sciences cartoonists (in French) give live sketches of the speakers and present their drawings live on line.
The health crisis does not allow the institute to welcome the public. All presentations are transmitted live on the Twitch channel Space_Thomalice. Internet users are able to ask questions and interact with the speakers via the chat on Twitch. At the end of the evening, everyone is able to take part in an online quiz that is hosted by the video artists.
