4. Gianluigi Fogli NOW 2006 - Conca Specchiulla, September 10, 2006 4 Armillary Sphere An armillary sphere is a model of the celestial sphere, invented by Eratosthenes in 255 BC. Armillary Sphere Its name comes from the Latin armilla (circle, bracelet), since it has a skeleton made of graduated metal circles linking the poles and representing the equator, the ecliptic, meridians and parallels. Usually a ball representing the Earth or, later, the Sun is placed in its center. It is used to demonstrate the motion of the stars around the Earth. Armillary spheres were developed by the Greeks and were used as teaching tools already in the 3rd century B.C.. In larger and more precise forms they were also used as observational instruments. Armillary spheres became popular again in the Late Middle Ages; the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe (1546-1601) constructed several of such instruments.

11. Gianluigi Fogli NOW 2006 - Conca Specchiulla, September 10, 2006 11 The doubt At this point a fundamental doubt remains : “neutrino-centered” The Sphera Armillaris Neutrinorum corresponds to a Ptolemaic point of view Assuming a transition to a Copernican point of view … … what might be at the center of the armillary sphere? Have you got an answer to this question?

12. Gianluigi Fogli NOW 2006 - Conca Specchiulla, September 10, 2006 12 José Valle … maybe an answer will be given by José Valle in the highlights of his concluding talk.

13. Gianluigi Fogli NOW 2006 - Conca Specchiulla, September 10, 2006 13 OPERA’s overture “OPERA’s opening score has been played at the Gran Sasso Lab, and it’s in perfect harmony with the melody of the CNGS neutrino beam from CERN.” Tomorrow, September 11, a Ceremony will take place at the Gran Sasso Lab, in the presence of the Italian Minister of University and Research. The day after tomorrow, September 12, the plenary session will be devoted to the long baseline experiments in the world, in particular with the contribution of Yves Déclais, responsible of the OPERA experiment.

We need to know and communicate the number of participants tomorrow morning.

16. Gianluigi Fogli NOW 2006 - Conca Specchiulla, September 10, 2006 16 South Coast Tour We hope to make part of the tour, from Castro to Santa Maria di Leuca, by boat, if the weather and sea conditions will allow it. Conca Specchiulla Capo d’Otranto Porto Badisco Zinzulusa Grotto S. Maria di Leuca Santa Maria di Leuca Castro by boat The lunch will be taken on the boats. There is a total limit of 54 places on the boats: we will consider only the first 54 reservations!

18. Gianluigi Fogli NOW 2006 - Conca Specchiulla, September 10, 2006 18 Alberobello Tour Conca Specchiulla Lecce Ostuni Alberobello Locorotondo Alberobello Locorotondo The masseria Montalbano Vecchio dates back to the XVI century and is one of the most ancient in the neighborhood of Ostuni. An austere stone wall keeps a village perfectly kept in each detail: the Lord's house, the cattle sheds, the stables, the oil mill, the peasants' houses and the church of the Blessed Virgin of the Rosary. You will have lunch at the Masseria of Montalbano
