Starting with the Sun, the coordinator will review basic solar physics, describe how the Sun affects the Earth, how solar storms are caused, what Space Weather is, and how auroras are caused. The effects of Space Weather on satellites and technological systems in near space and on the ground will be discussed. In addition, the coordinator will discuss the most important missions that man has sent into space and the missions of the future. The group will also have the opportunity to participate in an outdoor session where, along with the coordinator, they will identify the brightest stars and connect the constellations of the Nafplio night sky with Greek mythology. The workshop will also focus on the basics of stellar evolution, the famous Antikythera Mechanism, and the connection between Astronomy and Music in looking for the relationship between science and art.
