Views of Padova, Italy, in 1999

The old observatory of Padova (external & internal views)

Some old instruments on display there.

"The Bo", Padova's famous university: a spectacular lecture hall (where the conference's opening session took place) - and Galileo's original chair!

From a big exhibit on the Moon: big models of the Clementine and Lunar Prospector spacecraft.
