Astronomy Outreach & Stargazing

2014–2017 · Public astronomy activities · Greece

My astronomy activities during this period extended beyond a single organisation. I participated in public observing sessions, educational activities and stargazing events in different parts of Greece, including activities with the Astronomy Society of Patras “Orion”, meteor-shower observing near Athens and astronomy outings on Mount Parnon.
