There was information in some local mass media that the solar eclipse of December 26, 2019 will be observed in Almaty at 11:18 a.m. In fact, however, the peak of the eclipse will occur almost an hour earlier, at 10:12, while by the mentioned time it will be over. The maximum disk coverage will reach 27%.

On December 4, 2019 at 11 a.m. we have a seminar entitled "Rotational evolution of neutron stars in gaseous medium with magnetic field", which will be delivered by Vitaliy Kim, a researcher in the laboratory of physics of stars and nebulae of FAPHI.

In the framework of the Space Week we will have the meeting at Fesenkov Astrophysical Institute with Dr. Shannon Walker, a NASA astronaut, on October 3, at 2 pm.
