The full lecture hall shows the great interest in magic views of the starry nightsky.
Introducing words by Mrs. Dr. med. Minoo Rahimi (Österreichisch Iranische Ärztegesellschaft) & Mr. DI Alexander Pikhard (President of WAA)
Mag. Dipl.-Ing. Dr. Peter Habison (director of Urania, Kuffner-Observatory
and Planeterium-Vienna)
presents the first German written TWAN-book (authors: Stefan Seip, Gernot
Meiser, Babak Tafreshi).
Prim. Dr. med. Thomas Maca (WAA) very happy takes over a present by Babak Tafreshi.
Of course, I was proud and happy to welcome Babak A. Tafreshi and his wife officially in the name of Astronomers Without Borders in Austria
After nearly 2 hours presenting fascinating images, leading around the globe, Babak raised a big cheer.
After the lecture we had "Vienna at night" and a little walk led us .....
.... to the place of the first Observatory of University of Vienna, built by order of Austrian Emperor Maria Theresia.
Our walk led to a typical Viennese tavern. A proper visit of Vienna needs wine and "Heurigen"-music !
Here we had a cozier conclusion of Babak Tafreshi's first
public Austrian TWAN performance.
