BELISSIMA and the "Milanković" telescope in "Danica 2012"

 

Vuk Karadžić Foundation from Belgrade published the Serbian illustrated almanac “Danica“ for the year 2012. This is the 19th year of the new series of this publication: the original “Danica” (“The Day Star”) was initiated by Serbian linguist and major reformer of the Serbian language Vuk Karadžić in Vienna in 1825.  This almanac is widely distributed in Serbia (among others, all school libraries receive a copy of it) and abroad.

In the section “Astronomy” of the almanac, the article “The Rambling Planets” by the coordinator of the BELISSIMA project, Dr. Srdjan Samurović was published. In this contribution the research of the exoplanets which are very distant from their stars, “lonely” planets, was described. One possible way of their detection are the so called “microlensing” observations: this type of observations will be possible with the 1.5 meter “Milanković” telescope to be mounted at the Vidojevica mountain.
