Prelude de Paris (Jul 3, 2004)
Another photo from my Paris trip this summer, with another one of the violinists in the “Prelude de Paris” ensamble. As you can notice, they actually have a web page and an email address. I tried to write them to tell about the photos, but I didn’t get any answer. If anybody reading this blog meet them in the Metro de Paris, in Place de la Sorbonne or in Place des Voges in Paris, please give them the address of this page!
Anyway, I am still in Pasadena for my meeting. Spent all day listening to talks about debris disks around young stars, interstellar dust and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons, Kuiper Belt objects and cometary ices... Just after lunch there was also an historical talk about Lyman Spitzer, which is the late astronomer after which the space telescope I am working with is named. Quite nice talk... apart for being a pioneer in space astronomy he was also a good mountain climber, opening several new climbing routes in really scary mountains in Alaska. Mountains and astronomer mix well...
