On Wednesday, October 15 at 6:00 PM, the South Tyrol Museum of Natural Sciences invites you to the lecture-performance “Voyager”. An astrophysicist from the science outreach project “Chi ha paura del buio?” (“Who’s Afraid of the Dark?”) will guide the audience through one of humanity’s most extraordinary journeys: the missions of the two Voyager space probes. Exploring space is not just about pushing boundaries. It is also an expression of the human desire to outlive its own time. This deeply human sentiment is embodied in two small objects called “Voyager.” After more than 40 years in space, both probes are now in interstellar space, beyond the heliosphere, more than 20 billion kilometers from Earth. Despite the immense distance, they continue to transmit data back to Earth and remind us of unforgettable discoveries, such as the first images of Uranus and Neptune or the famous “Pale Blue Dot” photo. The Voyager probes also carry a message from humanity: two golden records containing music, greetings in many languages, and information about Earth and DNA. Perhaps one day, they will be found — as a testimony to peace, science, and hope. More likely, however, they will travel for millions, perhaps billions, of years across the vastness of the cosmos, outliving humanity itself. Guest of the museum is astrophysicist Matteo Miluzio, creator of “Chi ha paura del buio?” — an online project dedicated to science communication in astronomy, space science, and climatology, followed by more than 380,000 people. The event will be held in Italian. Admission is free. Online reservation is recommended via the museum’s website at: https://app.no-q.info/naturmuseum-sudtirol/events/course/543429

You are witnessing the birth of an offline club: a place for real socialising aimed at those who want to discuss contemporary issues. What is happening in the present and how it affects us is difficult to discuss and often a source of misunderstanding and division. What we want to develop is a dialogue group based on mutual listening, providing space for constructive discussion to share different ideas and skills in a judgement-free environment, a sort of emancipation from current modes of communication. The offline club is open to everyone, everyone speaks the language they prefer, and we will try to understand each other or translate if there are any misunderstandings. The meetings will be held in person and without the use of technological aids (mobile phones, computers, smart glasses, etc.). ___ First meeting – Blackout: [dis]connection The digital network and its positive and negative consequences in the contemporary world. Implications and choices that concern us as conscious humans or as aware cyborgs. With Luigi Cirimele, Giorgio Loner and Marco Vaccari

The rich biology of the Monticolo lakes — their waters, animals, plants, origin, and the future of this much-loved natural environment — will be the focus of the conference “Discovering Our Waters – The Monticolo Lakes: Biology, Curiosities, and Hikes”, scheduled for Thursday, October 16 at 6:00 PM at the Cristallo Theater. The speaker will be Massimo Morpurgo, biologist and curator of the aquariums at the South Tyrol Museum of Natural Sciences, who has long been involved in research projects on freshwater invertebrates and fish, and has carried out around one hundred dives in these very waters. The talk will include photos and a 12-minute underwater video filmed in the Monticolo lakes, showcasing the great aquatic biodiversity just a short distance from the city. With this initiative, the Bolzano branch of the Italian Alpine Club (CAI) aims to share knowledge and experiences with the audience of the Cristallo Thursday series. Info: Tel. +39 0471 412964

The Kellerei Meran invites you to an exclusive wine tasting at the house of culture Thalguter in Algund on October 17th from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM. An experienced sommelier from the "Kellerei Meran" will present the finest wines and guide you through the tasting. The Kellerei Meran is deeply rooted in our region. Tradition, landscape, and viticulture have always been closely intertwined in the Merano area. The foundation of the "Kellerei Meran" was laid back in 1901 by a few dedicated vintners. Today, following the merger of the "Burggräfler Kellerei" and the "Weinkellerei Meran" in 2010, the cooperative boasts 360 members. In the glass, the origin and provenance of the grapes must be perceptible. The wine should stay true to its "roots" and represent transparency, character, and authenticity. Each bottle thus becomes a special experience. Many of the Algund vintners are members of the "Kellerei Meran" and make a significant contribution to these aromatic wines. If you have admired the beautiful vineyards in Algund, you can now savor them in a fine wine. Come by, raise a toast, and experience the Merano-Algund harmony in wine.

The South Tyrolean crime bestseller author Lenz Koppelstätter in conversation with Eberhard Daum.

Digital infrastructures have become part of our everyday lives: we pay with cards, communicate via messengers, and store data in the cloud. But because they seem so natural, we often overlook their political dimension. This lecture argues that digital infrastructures should not be viewed merely as technical tools but as central power resources. It highlights Europe’s dependence on non-European infrastructures in terms of data security and political agency. At the same time, Switzerland shows that alternative paths are possible. Lenguage: german Speaker: Dr. Carola Westermeier Moderator: Marlene Huber Organizer: Autonomous Province of Bolzano – Office for Film and Media
