Traditional meetings of astronomers at Bezovec will write their 58th chapter in 2026. The main focus of the conference, which will be held from 4 to 6 September 2026, will be the presentation of the astronomical research based on satellite data.
Conferences on the achievements of stellar astronomy are among the prominent events organized annually by the Slovak Astronomical Society and the Observatory and Planetarium of M. R. Štefánik in Hlohovec. These meetings have traditionally enabled the exchange of experience between professional astronomers and those interested in variable star observations as well as other areas of astrophysics from students, young people actively working in astronomical clubs, and also the staff of observatories and planetariums from all over Slovakia.
In 2020, we expanded the focus of the conference and gave space to the staff of Slovak observatories to present the results of their activities in various areas of astronomical research. The conference’s central theme in 2021, 2023 and 2025 was the presentation of scientific research activities of young astronomers. The subject of the 2022 conference was the presentation of new scientific as well as older, lesser-known findings in the history of astronomy. The conference on astronomical research in Slovakia in 2024 was held as part of the event Štefánik and Science.
