Telespazio is taking part in Rome’s third Festival of Sciences, which will be held at the Auditorium Parco della Musica from 14 to 21 January. At the Filas/Lazio Region exhibition area, Telespazio, a Finmeccanica/Thales company, will present its Love Planet Earth 2008 calendar, dedicated – in the International Polar Year – to the coldest places on Earth, those where global warming has had the biggest impact.
Through magnificent high-resolution satellite images, the calendar illustrates how Alaska, Siberia and Antarctica are the first regions to show the visible signs of our planet’s suffering. |
2008 will be an important year for reflection and action in our efforts to tackle
issues such as pollution, changes to ecosystems and the melting ice caps. The Arctic
and Antarctic play a key role in regulating the Planet’s temperatures and weather systems.
Understanding this mechanism is a great challenge for science, which requires continuous,
global and highly detailed imagery data. Satellite images can provide objective information
on these phenomena, and help to identify solutions that provide a better future for the Planet.
The third Festival of Sciences (under the banner
"Global ConScience") will bring together in Rome some of
the world's leading scientists, philosophers, economists
and politicians, and will be especially pleased to welcome
experts from Asia, the Middle East, Latin America and Africa.
