On November 3, 2013, Gabon and other countries in Africa will experience a total solar eclipse.
This is a unique cosmic event, as well as a lifetime opportunity to talk/walk science, technology and related in/for Gabon/Africa.
The Gabon-based organizing committee for the eclipse is chaired by the Gabonese Space Agency (AGEOS). In parallel, various continent-wide initiatives are taking shape to consolidate the PAN-AFRICAN intention to make this eclipse, a fun and unique intra-african as well as international collaboration.
NOMMO ASTRONOMIA, a stakeholder in the Gabonese organizing committee is a driving force behind the ongoing plan
for a regional workshop for astronomy and space science in Libreville, capital city of Gabon. The workshop would serve as an initial platform for further regional interaction towards a greater use of (space) science for a better Life for us, in Africa.
A goal shared by the International Astronomical Union Office of Astronomy for Development, a key stakeholder in this additional endeavour towards the ongoing (scientific) Renaissance of AFRICA.
