Intre 15 si 18 Septembrie 2011 va avea loc o conferinta ''Hevelius'' in Polonia ,la Gdansk,intre 15 si 18 Septembrie 2011.
Memoria lui Hevelius ar trebui sa fie draga astronomilor amatori din lumea intreaga.El a fost cu adevarat un mare iubitor al Astronomiei,a fost un erudit autodidact,si-a construit singur telescoapele,a inventat tipuri noi de instrumente si de monturi,le-a folosit cu pasiune la observarea cerului,a scris carti minunate si a deschis drumuri noi in aceasta stiinta.

Pentru cine nu stia, Hevelius a murit chiar de ziua lui si a trait cat o revolutie a cometei Halley. La multi ani d-le Pteancu ! Sper ca sunte-ti bine sanatos. A-ti tras oleaca chiulul de pe forum

[Mircea Pteancu]

Multumesc la fel,La Multi Ani Cataline si tie si tuturor colegilor de pe forum.Numai am chiulit un pic,mi-am facut de cap prin niste biblioteci virtuale.De unde am adunat peste o suta cincizeci de volume de hartoage astronomice pe gustul meu ,asa mai ''freeky''.Unele sunt tocmai din Evul Mediu.Dar majoritatea sunt din secolul XIX.

Daca pana acuma mi-ar fi fost indiferenta Latina,dar nu mi-a fost,dupa ce am deschis ''Selenographia'' lui Hevelius ,am simtit o strangere de inima ca nu vorbesc aceasta limba.
Ce carte,ce personaj,ce realizari!
Dar si ce destin trist,la batranete i-a luat casa foc,a ars si observatorul sau si instrumentele sale deosebite ,si cartile ,si jurnalele de observatii si manuscrisele.

Va invit ca prin linkul de mai jos sa pasiti prin Gdansk , pe urmele lui Hevelius si ale altor savanti,avandu-l drept ghid pe Andrzek Ianuszajtis,docent al Universitatii Tehnice si cetatean de onoare al Gdanskului.
In cartile in Latina ale lui Hevelius, orasul Gdansk poarta denumirea latinizata Gedan/Gedani.Aceasta era de fapt uzanta epocii,Gdanskul polonez sau Danzig-ul germanilor fiind cunoscut, sub forma latinizata amintita, in articolele din ''Philosophical Transactions'' in care Hevelius a fost prezent cu numeroase interventii,articole si comentarii,purtand o vie corespondenta si polemici cu astronomii din Royal Society.
Dar Hevelius a fost cunoscut si apreciat si in Franta ,fiind de altfel sponsorizat, am zice dupa termenii actuali,de catre insusi majestatea sa Louis XIV ''Regele Soare''.
Colectia ''Le Journal des Scavans'' este mult mai dificil de navigat si cautat decat ''Phil. Trans'' astfel ca in acest moment nu cunosc prea multe despre colaborarea lui Hevelius la aceasta publicatie franceza,altminteri disponibila in format electronic pentru perioada 1665-1940.Cu hiatusul ''firesc'' (in masura in care progroamele si tratamentul tip Auschwitz poate fi considerat astfel) dintre 1793-1815 datorat ''epocii revolutionare'',cand publicatia ''Le Journal des Scavans'' nu a aparut.
