On Friday, 21 November 2025, at 5:30 PM, in the Department of Physics and Astronomy “Ettore Majorana” (DFA), the renowned astronaut Luca Parmitano (European Space Agency, ESA) met with students, members of the academic community, several school groups, and the broader public.

During the event, Parmitano also presented his book Walking Among the Stars, published by Feltrinelli in collaboration with Emilio Cozzi, a work filled with personal experiences, scientific insights, and visions of the future.

TechnoLab attended the event to report on the meeting and to speak with someone who observes Earth from the very orbits we study every day. It was a valuable opportunity to understand what it means to look at our planet “from so high above” and to draw inspiration for our research and innovation.
