Parliamo di astronomia
The awesome beauty of the Universe
My name is Daniele Gasparri, and I am an astrophysicist, science communicator, and astrophotographer with over twenty years of experience and a deep passion for astronomy.
I have published more than 40 books dedicated to astronomical outreach, and I live in the Atacama Desert in Chile, under the world’s darkest night sky, where the stars cast shadows and the sight of the Milky Way is breathtaking.
Over the years, I have captured more than 1,000 astronomical photos of the Universe’s wonders, marveling at its diverse colors and beauty.
I am available for advice, guidance, courses, and astronomy lectures in Italian, Spanish, and English.
My latest books
It took me almost twenty years to learn what I know about the night sky, and this is the reason that I wrote a book: to help other enthusiastic young people to avoid waiting so long to knowledgably, and satisfactorily, observe the wonders of the Universe. Partly autobiographical and often ironic, we’ll go on to the discovery of amateur astronomy and the magnificent Universe that is right above our heads. We will learn how to recognize the constellation, how to use a binoculars and how to choose our first, awesome telescope. We will learn to observe the extraordinary beauty of our Universe, from the planets till the distant galaxies. Let’s start the most amazing and funny training of our lives and get ready to explore, with our telescope, the most astonishing place we will ever see: our Universe.
Beauty in the Universe is everywhere. That empty, dark dome above our heads hides priceless pieces of art and treasures that no one can imitate in magnificence, elegance and power. Enveloped by the silence of the cosmic emptiness, we will observe phenomena that will forever change our vision of Nature, thanks to more than 90 spectacular photographs, in color and in high resolution, taken by the author. We will leave on a thrilling journey across the Universe, with one eye on the wonderful sensations given by our sight, and the other looking at the secrets that those photographs show, often hidden in interesting formations or miniscule details. We will start from our atmosphere, we will travel among the planets, we will discover the other stars and the ways in which they decide to be together.
