The Namibia Scientific Society is inviting the public to join them for a fascinating talk titled, ‘Modeling and observations of particles around the triangular Lagrange points of the Earth-Moon and Sun-Jupiter systems.’ The event is scheduled for 3 July at 19:00.

The Society announced that the presentation will be delivered by Attila Madai, a Senior Research Fellow with the HUN-REN-ELTE Astropolarimetric Research Group at Eötvös Loránd University, and an Instrument Development Specialist.

The talk will delve into “special regions in space where dust and asteroids collect, called Lagrange points,” offering insights into these unique gravitational phenomena. The event promises an opportunity for the public to discover more about these intriguing cosmic areas.

They invited the public to come and discover how scientists are using computer models and telescopes, including observations from Namibia, to study these mysterious dust clouds and asteroid groups near the Earth, Moon, and Jupiter. “A unique insight into the hidden dynamics of our Solar System,” they emphasized.

Sliz-Balogh was part of the team that produced the first polarimetic images of the mysterious Kordylewski dust clouds while Madai is a specialist behind globally used telescopes and tracking drives that provide the technical backbone for the team’s cutting edge observations.
