Geodetic Observatory Pecný and the village of Ondřejov

Image
We spent two weeks at the Geodetic Observatory (GO) Pecný, located in a hill 1.5 km near the village of Ondřejov. Ondřejov itself is about 1 hour by public transportation from Prague. A bucolic and picturesque place, located inside a forest. We stayed in a small cottage they have for visiting researchers and scholars. GO Pecný date back to the 1960's and their main activity was the determination of astronomical latitude, longitude and azimuth, evening operations. Later on, they started to perform satellite photography, also evening operations. Therefore, an infrastructure was necessary for the scientists and technicians to stay overnight. The main office building, built at that time, had offices each one with a bed, and every floor had a kitchen, bathroom and shower. Today, a similar way of working exists. The scientists, engineers and technicians may spend two or three days living in the office, doing the rest of the work in other places such as Prague, Plze ň ,  or even at t...

Rheinsberg

(Português abaixo) Saturday we visited Rheinsberg, a small city north of Potsdam famous for being the location of the first palace built by Frederick the Great (1712-1786), then just a 20 years-old royal prince and heir to the Prussian throne. Jens Wickert and his wife, Charlotte, were our hosts for the afternoon and evening. We also visited a museum dedicated to Alfred Wegener (1880-1930). Wegener was a German meteorologist and geophysicist who formulated the continental drift hypothesis, which could only be accepted as theory in the 1960's. It is a small museum but it has a very nice collection, such as the gondola of the hot air balloon he used to collect meteorological measurements of the lower atmosphere. The tour also included visit to the Marinas that serve the lakes in the region. We also visited the town of Meseberg, where is located a palace used by German Chancellor Angela Merkel as summer residence and also to host international dignitaries. In Meseberg, we saw t...

The second part of my visit to Wrocław took place at the Department of Geodesy and Geoinformatics at the Wrocław University of Environmental and Life Sciences. I was warmly greeted by several colleagues, among them (photo 1, from right to left) Prof. Jarosław Bosy, Krzysztof Sośnica, Kamil Kaźmierski, Denise, Marcelo, Tomasz Hadaś and Jan Kapłon. The week was busy with presentations and discussions, with just enough "break time" to "refresh." A segunda parte da minha visita a Wrocław (Breslávia) realizou-se no Departamento de Geodésia e Geoinformática da Universidade  de Ciências Ambientais e da Vida  de Wrocław . Fui calorosamente recebido por vários colegas, entre eles (foto 1, da direita para a esquerda) Prof. Jarosław Bosy, Krzysztof Sośnica, Kamil Kaźmierski, Denise, Marcelo, Tomasz Hadaś e Jan Kapłon. A semana foi ocupada com apresentações e discussões, sem muito  "tempo de descanso", mas suficiente para "refrescar."  ...
