NEW HIP BLOG (IN FINNISH)
Juha Aaltonen writes about the Researchers’ Night Event in the Helsinki Observatory last Friday 29.9.2023. (There were numerous other events also elsewhere as Researchers’ Night is a Europe wide event.) The successful event required effort from a lot of people at HIP and elsewhere. Many thanks to all of you!
