Byurakan Observatory to host 2nd international conference on Middle East's astronomical heritage

The international conference Astronomical Heritage of the Middle East 2 (AHME-2) will take place at Armenia's Byurakan Astrophysical Observatory (BAO) on October 6-10.

"This will be the 2nd such meeting; we had a very successful meeting AHME in 2017 with participation of astronomers and many other specialists. This way we make these meetings regular for BAO and Armenia, as Armenia is one of the cradles of Astronomical Heritage, as well as BAO hosts a UNESCO “Memory of the World” Documentary Heritage (Markarian Survey)," the observatory said.

Renowned scientists, astronomers, historians, archaeologists, culturalists, linguists and others working in the area of Astronomical Heritage have been invited to the meeting.
