STARMUS ANNOUNCES "STARMUS LA PALMA, THE ISLAND OF THE STARS"

Starmus returns to the Canary Islands – in partnership with the Starlight Foundation - as part of the recovery programme for the island of La Palma after the disaster caused by the eruption of the Cumbre Vieja Volcano in 2021. Thus, the festival will serve as a platform for the international promotion of the island known as the "isla bonita" and its positioning as one of the most privileged territories in the world for stargazing.

After the success of its last editions abroad - in Norway, Switzerland, Armenia and Slovakia - Starmus 'returns home' to contribute to the recovery of La Palma.  Within the framework of the 'Starlight Declaration or Declaration of La Palma' in Defence of the night sky and the right to starlight - promoted by the IAC and drafted and signed by international institutions such as UNESCO, UNWTO and IAU among others, whose responsible body is the Starlight Foundation.

This special edition will be a tribute to the island and it will focus on the great challenges of light and space pollution. Bringing back to the Canary Islands the great heroes and visionaries of the space race, together with a great cast of scientific and artistic personalities.

The festival will offer a 4-day programme of first-class lectures, an unparalleled musical agenda that will bring world-renowned speakers and artists to La Palma and its popular STARMUS Camp, with which science will take centre stage all over the island.

The organisers are already working on the programme and further details of the event are expected to be announced in September.

Undoubtedly, a unique event that will put the 'Isla Bonita' in the international spotlight for a whole week and consolidate it as an international point of reference for the scientific community and for astro-tourism as "the island of the stars".
