At Bibliotheca Alexandrina at Alexandria, Egypt, Dr. Omar Fikri, head of the Planetarium section there organized, as every year, a well-attended public event. He reported the following: More than 150 students attended the program, along with some of their parents. The program included a scientific play, an interactive scientific presentation, and a scientific lecture on the experiment and how to measure the Earth diameter. A group of students from Aswan participated with the students of the Bibliotheca Alexandrina in the location of the well on which Eratosthenes relied in the idea of the experiment. |
