Announced Conferences 2006

International meeting  March 27th - 29th, 2006

A great possibility to attend a meeting while prepare for
observations and experiments and do it right on the spot,
on the line of totality.

Rationale:

Remembering that Sir Arthur Eddington's expedition in 1919 what he confirmed light rays bent while passing near the solar disk; a firm verification of the General Relativity, total solar eclipses are rare opportunities to do such kinds of mystifying new experiments. A total solar eclipse will take place on March 29th, 2006, which will have duration of totality of about 4 minutes. Just before the eclipse, this meeting in SIDE, ANTALYA, TURKEY aims to congregate solar and stellar physicists to share their unique ideas and discuss how science, particularly Physics, could be benefited from this extraordinary unusual event of nature. Theory, experiment and observation are all at once. Ankara University Manavgat ORSEM complex where the meeting will be held (see photo) which is right on the line of totality is the best place an experiment or observation could be set up.
