Join ESA's XMM-Newton and INTEGRAL observatories in the 'Around the World in 80 Telescopes' webcast
30 Mar 2009

On 3 April 2009 ESA astronomers will take part in a unique live webcast, 'Around the world in 80 telescopes'. During the webcast viewers will visit astronomers at observatories and research institutes around the world, including ESA's European Space Astronomy Centre (ESAC) near Madrid in Spain. This is part of the 100 Hours of Astronomy, a cornerstone project for the International Year of Astronomy.

This special webcast starts at 09:00 UT (11:00 CEST) on 3 April and will run for 24 hours, following night and day around the globe to some of the most advanced observatories both on and off the planet. ESA's dedicated segment will provide viewers with an insight into two space observatories, XMM-Newton and INTEGRAL, and an opportunity to meet astronomers working on these missions.

Find out what's happening at a research observatory in your country, or on the other side of the planet, and discover what astronomers are doing right now! Who is observing? What are they researching? What do they hope to discover?

You'll see a snapshot of life at many different observatories where astronomers will present exclusive images and talk about their work. Some will be observing distant galaxies, searching for extrasolar planets around other stars or studying our own Solar System. Some will be studying the Universe in visible light, others in radio waves or other wavelengths. Some may be working at solar observatories or with telescopes out in space. All of them will have a different story to tell.
